The caravans from various cities of the country, mainly from Lahore, have left to participate in PML public meeting in Islamabad today
President Pervez Musharraf will address his first public meeting in Islamabad today (Saturday) as the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) claimed that it would gather 500,000 workers in the capital to show solidarity with Musharraf.
It is learnt that the party has told its ministers, MNAs, MPAs and office-bearers that their political future depends on the success of Musharraf’s public meeting.
The PML leadership has asked party leaders to bring maximum people from their constituencies in close coordination with district and tehsil nazims.
The party leaders belonging to the adjoining districts of Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum and Chakwal have been ordered to bring 40,000 to 50,000 participants each, while the leaders of areas next to these districts have been tasked to bring 20,000 to 25,000 participants each.
Leaders of other districts have been directed to bring 10,000 participants each and the party office-bearers have been asked to bear all the expenses.
A 20-metre stage has been set up in front of the presidency with seating arrangement for only four persons – President Musharraf, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, PML President Shujaat Hussain and Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi.
These leaders will be the main speakers of the rally while rest of the party leaders and workers will stand at the venue starting from the Parade Avenue to China Chowk. The scheduled time of the meeting is 3pm.
