The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has finalised all the arrangements to accord rousing reception to the participants of lawyers' long march who are expected to reach the provincial metropolis between the night of June 10 and 11, said PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique.
He told reporters on Monday that the people of the whole Lahore city would take to streets to accord warm welcome to the lawyers who are waging a just struggle for the rule of law. He said the provincial government had adopted foolproof security arrangements for the lawyers' long march. He said that his party leaders and workers are fully participating in the long march whose success is clear message for the forces supporting Pervez Musharraf. When asked whether Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif would participate in the long march he said that decision in this regard is expected soon.
Answering another question, he ruled out any possibility of joining the federal cabinet by the PML-N ministers without judges' reinstatement. To another query, he said that the participants of the long march would get rousing reception in Lahore and afterward, we will march towards Islamabad. He urged the people to actively participate in the long march for rule of law in the country.
PML-N Lahore President Mian Marghoob Ahmed MNA told newsmen that the PML-N would set up reception camps at Allama Iqbal Town and Chauburji Chowk to welcome the participants of the long march. He said the PML-N would fully participate in the long march to say goodbye to dictatorship and its remnants.
