Punjab government on Wednesday declined additional personnel to be deployed for the long march security planned by Tehrik-e-Minhajul Quran chief Dr Tahirul Qadri, according to a private TV channel.
Dr Qadri had earlier given government a three-weeks ultimatum to improve the worsening situation of the country warning that if government failed he would lead a protest march towards Islamabad on Jan 14.
Dr Qadri has the support Mutahida Quami Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in this regard.
