Intelligence agencies challenged the tall claims of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leadership of staging a successful rally, saying the turnout was far less against than expected.
The agencies put the number of people at the rally between 25,000 and 30,000, compared to PML-N’s claims of managing a gathering of 100,000 people.
Per details, intelligence agencies reported to the federal government that there were about 25,000 to 30,000 people present at the rally on Friday. Sources said the PML-N used government machinery to the maximum in order to make the rally successful, as all district coordination officers had been told to bring people to the event. They said that contrary to expectations, all DCOs failed to deliver, producing only 50 percent of expected turnout. The sources said most of the people who attended the rally belonged to districts other than Lahore and were brought there by their respective MNAs and MPAs. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) reported that around 30,000 to 50,000 people attended the rally, adding that the PML-N leadership wrapped up the rally much earlier than expected.
For a government employees convention, this number is not bad at all. Well done 😉
round 1 to PTI then.
i think it was around 60000 but still a failure…
PTI more than this
a shame
whatever the number of people were there, the speech of Mr Shahbaz Sharif was very impressive against Zardari …. who was elected with the votes of Mr Shahbaz Sharif party …….
good keep it
who will be the next?????????????????????
well the target was 100000….
Don't forget that these agencies work under king of liers (Rehman Malik) as everybody could see there were a lot more people than they are saying.
It was definitely big crowd. An eye opener for PPP and PTI.
they must be fearful of PTI now…….
Well, Babar Awan put it very aptly: a comedy show. Read my blog at http://digitaljournal.com/article/313552.
if there is a traffic jam from nasir bagh to bhati just for 25 minutes the whole road is packed with vehicles and bikes. The sharif show was even less than a traffic jam. The whole govt. Machinery is utilzed. Billiöns spent. Each patwari is charged rs. 25000. Mpa, mnas inovolved but pespite all of it they failed miserably. It was a jalsi. The lahore show recalls me the old slogan of sharifs jag punjabi jag.
there will be true workers in the PTI show not the police men and patwaris. People will come at their will and not in the greed of biryani.
kafi hain itne bhi
not possible for PTI like that, even with help of PPP and PML (Qatil)
