sit-in. The long march being led by Dr Qadri took over 36 hours to reach
its destination.
A large number of people gathered at
Jinnah Avenue to welcome the Tahirul Qadri-led march. A large number of
youth are present in the participating crowd while many women have also
turned up at the sit-in, some of them with their children.
The charged protestors carrying national flags and placards are in chanting slogans for bringing about a change in the country.
The
crowd has brought drinking water, edibles and other essentials along
with them to make out on the roads of the Federal Capital in a chilling
weather. They are ready to stand behind their leader Tahirul Qadri for
as many days as it takes to push for their demands.
Those in
attendance have been dealing with severe cold as the MET office has
predicted that the temperature in the federal capital will continue to
drop.

years in Toronto, accuses the government of being corrupt and
incompetent, and says polls cannot be held until reforms are enacted.
He
claimed to be leading one million people into Islamabad, where they
will camp out on the streets until their demands are accepted.
"We
will stay in Islamabad until this government is finished, all the
assemblies are dissolved, all corrupt people are totally ousted, a just
constitution is imposed, rule of law is enforced, and true and real
democracy is enforced," Tahirul Qadri told AFP on Monday.
