The Pakistan Awami Tehreek Saturday is holding Qisas March in Rawalpindi under the leadership of Dr Tahirul Qadri, who claims that thousands of supporters will join him.
Reports said Qadri has also requested Awami Muslim League President Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed to join the rally with his supporters.
The PAT will join PTI’s ‘Pakistan March’ in Lahore today and the PTI would reciprocate by supporting PAT’s Qisas (blood money) rally.
To spearhead the rally, Dr Qadri is expected to leave Lahore this evening for Rawalpindi. The rally will start from Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh and culminate at Murree Road where a public meeting will be held.
On the other hand, Sheikh Rasheed claimed that police have surrounded his Lal Haveli to bar him from mass mobilisation.
Closing metro bus services in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the government has deployed thousands of policemen in the twin cities to avert any untoward situation
