Strong security arrangements were made by Punjab Police to ensure the safe execution of the chief minister’s rally on Friday, with a heavy contingent of police deployed around the venue of the public gathering.
Almost 3,000 police personnel were on duty at various positions across the city to protect the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rally. Plainclothesmen and uniformed officers were seen at all entrances and exits of the venue and along the rally’s scheduled route. The rally area was closed to traffic from all sides: Town Hall, MAO College, Data Darbar Chowk, Urdu Bazaar junction and other small arteries.
Police thoroughly searched those entering the rally area. Metal detectors, dogs, mounted policemen, heavy contingent of women police and sharpshooters on rooftops were deployed along the entire length of the rally area. Police patrols were also seen surveilling the area.
Police sources said Lahore Police had adopted extensive security measures to prevent the occurrence of any untoward incidents. PML-N workers were only allowed to enter from a gate at the Town Hall side whereas the remaining route was closed to all entry without exception.
Due to the forgetfulness of the people these leaders flourish. Where was the monetary help that comes out now after the death of so many dengue patients. Why these monetary help failed to provide better medicine and care while the victims were still alive. Couldn’t this money be used to make hygienic conditions in that area better. Now a few days ago they were bragging to help the heirs of the dead by the monetary fund. It is very difficult for common people to know the real face of these leaders. Pakistan’s destiny will change when literacy rate will increase, when awareness will come to the common people, when this nation will wake up to realize and recognize their self respect. All the embittering memories like beating, killing by police while standing on lines for a “bori” of atta,a sack of “chini”, wipe out from their memories when they hear the music of the pied pipers. Actually they are not leaders they are in fact pied pipers, luring people from their music and people being hypnotized follow them to the valley of death, never to get liberation from their spell. God bless the nation.
