The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) on Thursday kicked off its anti-Musharraf drive with a procession led by its acting head Qazi Hussein Ahmed that started from Multan in a caravan of cars, mini-buses and tractors and finished off in Dera Ghazi Khan where its leaders rolled their eyes and jumped up and down addressed a public rally. MMA leaders also addressed small roadside gatherings along the way. Some 2000 people accompanied the caravan. Vehicles were bedecked with white MMA flags. The MMA motorcade passed through Muzaffargarh, Baseera and Qureshi Wala to reach DG Khan. The procession started its journey from the Multan Jamaat-e-Islami office at Kalma Chowk and reached Muzaffargarh where a rally was held at Fiaz Chowk. The caravan left again for DG Khan but was denied permission to hold a public meeting at Committee Chowk on its arrival there. The district administration allowed the MMA to hold the rally at Traffic Chowk after talks with MMA leaders. MMA activists chanted slogans against Musharraf at the DG Khan rally. The protestors were carrying banners reading: âGo Musharraf, Go.â |
