PDM’S ‘ANTI-INFLATION MARCH’ WILL START AS PER SCHEDULE: FAZL

 

ISLAMABAD: Rejecting the government’s request to defer long march due to terrorism threats, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – a multi-party opposition alliance – has decided to continue with the long march against the rising inflation as per schedule on March 23 (Pakistan Day), ARY News reported.

“Caravans from all over the country will leave for Islamabad on March 23,” announced PDM Chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman while briefing media about decisions taken in summit session of opposition alliance.

Responding to Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed’s request to postpone march due to Pakistan Day parade, the JUI-F chief said: “As far as the parade is concerned, it takes place from morning to afternoon and our marchers will enter Islamabad in the afternoon, so there is no conflict.”
