Thousands of people, including seminary students, are participating in the march. In addition, dozens of convoys representing various opposition political parties, including PPP, PML-N, ANP and others, have joined the march.
The traders associations, who have called for a two-day nationwide strike against the government’s “anti-traders” policies, established camps at Multan Chungi and Yateem Khana. Furthermore, traders’ bodies have warned the government of prolonging the strike if their demands were not met.
The march en route to Islamabad took public attention all the way through Hyderabad, Hala Mutyari, Nawabshah, Khairpur, Sukkur, Multan and reached Lahore in the wee hours of Wednesday.
