The Ahmadi questioner had based his question on the following verses of the Holy Quran:
And when Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?’”, he will answer, “Holy art Thou. I could never say that to which I had no right. If I had said it, Thou wouldst have surely known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. It is only Thou Who art the Knower of hidden things. I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command me — ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things. (Al Quran 5:117-118)
Testimony of Jesus, may peace be on him, as quoted in the Holy Quran, in the hereafter, makes sense only if he is understood to be deceased and never comes back to this world. Otherwise, how can he feign ignorance to what present day Christians are doing? And how can he imply that he did not do anything to restore the Christians to perfect Monotheism? Once Jesus left this world, two thousand years ago, he is denying any further responsibility, which will not be true, if he were to come back, in person, as many Sunni Muslims, including Tahir Qadri, believe.
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, showed from 30 verses of the Holy Quran that Jesus, may peace be on him, is deceased and not alive.
Some of those materials will be linked here.
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri (Urdu: محمد طاہر القادری) (born 19 February 1951) is a Pakistani politician, former law professor and Sufi Islamic scholar.[3][4] He was a former professor of international constitutional law at theUniversity of the Punjab.[5] Qadri is also the founding chairman of Minhaj-ul-Quran International.
So far, I have listened to the first 31 minutes of this video and the learned professor has talked about every thing else, but, not about the relevant verses. A perfect example of beating around the bush, while during these 31 minutes, he has used the same accusation of ‘beating around the bush,’ against the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Community, twice.
This half hour he has spent on a general rant against the Founder of Ahmadiyya Community, to create enough negativity among his followers, lest they begin to understand the verses of the Holy Quran, under discussion.
This gives me good confidence that Tahir Qadri will not have any thing worth while to say on the real subject, except for empty rhetoric, but, I will finish listening to whole of his presentation, shortly.

He has covered some of the issues under discussion, in his book, Izalai Auham (Removal of Suspicions). The book can be read in Urdu, online.
I will also link videos on this subject in the comment section.
May Allah guide us to truth and wisdom! Ameen.

After seeing the performance of Dr. Qadri, I can say that the professor who supervised his Ph. D. dissertation must be turning in his grave. For half the time Dr. Qadri’s answer had nothing to do with the question posed. The rest of his talk was built upon incorrect Arabic. tawaffataeen’s root word is ‘tay. wau, fay’ and not ‘wau, fay, ya’. Then he he gave quotes without reference to the context.
However, it shows how right the Promised Messiah was in his latter days not to enter into such talk with the mullahs. They use the ignorance of audience to prove their expertise in the subject.
However, I admire the patience and courage of the Ahmadi young man.
tahir Qadri sahib spread lot of misinformation (rather mischief) in that Q/A session. He avoided to come to the question, rather built an anti-Ahmadia atmosphere first for about 50 minutes. The questioner asked Qadri sahib that the words of the Hadith are same as the words of Quran which refer to Isa a.s. The prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. applied the same words to himself using the word “tawaffaitani” and the prophet s.a.w.s. passed away. The meaning should be the same for Isa a.s. too.
But Qadri did not agree. He said that waffa means departing from people while living or after death. He used the verse of the Quran which states that Allah takes the soul of the people at the time of death and of those who do not die , at the time of their sleep… (But he did not use the words ‘takes the soul’)
Thereby he tried to prove that the word applies to the living as well as dead persons. [That is true]
qadri sahib spread much dis-information. He even denied that Jesus a.s. was put on the cross. Thereby he tried to make a fool of the Jews and the Christians and the Bible and the Quran.
He blamed the Promised Messiah a.s. for praising the British Government. He even accused the Promised Messiah a.s. that he was planted by the British government to spread seeds of discord amongst Muslims.
He blamed the Promised Messiah a.s. for saying “We are happily living under the peaceful British government”. [at that time i thought about qadri sahib having migrated to Canada to live under the peaceful, comfortable British government.]
He even accused The promised Messiah a.s. for speaking against Jihaad [ We know that same Qadri sahib gave verdict (Edict, Fatwa) against jihad in London recently, covering 600 pages]
In the end the questioner tried to present his beliefs challenging Qadri sahib but Qadri said that he had explained everything very well; could not say any more.
Salient features: 1. Jesus is alive in heavens. He has not died. He will return at end times. He will carry out Jihad. He will marry and have children. Jesus will die and be buried in Madinah next to the grave of the prophet s.a.w.s.
2. Qadri said there is a place available next to the grave of the prophet s.a.w.s. This was said because there is a Hadith which states that “Jesus will be buried IN the grave of the prophet s.a.w.s.” So Qadri, instead of burying Jesus IN the grave of the prophet in Madinah, he has altered it to mean ‘next to the grave’ of the prophet s.a.w.s.
3. Qadri forgot that the original group of Muslims of Makkah, when persecuted, took refuge in a Christian kingdom, in Habshah,as per advice of the prophet s.a.w.s. They lived there happily, praising that government, even fought wars alongside the kings forces.
4. Qadri avoided to come to the point for about 50 minutes. He built the ground to attack Ahmadiyat.
5. It is true, what Abdul Aziz has written, that the root of the word Tawaffa is Taa, Wau, Faa and not Waa, Fau, Yaa. But i have doubt about the professor who taught Qadri sahib, turning in his grave. Because, perhaps these (such) things were taught to qadri sahib in Madinah.
6. Such things had been taught in Al Azhar and other places. One can imagine the amount of foul ideas being taught at non-Ahmadi institutes. The result is the bad image of Islam all over the world, and no peace for the Muslims.
