Problem Statement

A diameter AKAK is drawn for the circumscribed circle ω\omega of an acute-angled triangle ABCABC, an arbitrary point MM is chosen on the segment BCBC, the straight line AMAM intersects ω\omega at point QQ. The foot of the perpendicular drawn from MM on AKAK is DD, the tangent drawn to the circle ω\omega through the point QQ, intersects the straight line MDMD at PP. A point LL (different from QQ) is chosen on ω\omega such that PLPL is tangent to ω\omega. Prove that points LL, MM and KK lie on the same line.
