Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday vowed to change the country's destiny, urging the masses to defy the government's efforts to quash the lawyers' long march."Today is a defining moment in Pakistan's history. We can change the destiny of this country. Pakistan stands at a crossroads today and it is your duty to save it," Nawaz told a rally in Abbottabad.
Authorities have rounded up dozens of political activists and lawyers in a bid to thwart their planned protest on March 12 (today), and outlawed demonstrations in Islamabad, as well as in Punjab and Sindh, through which the rally was scheduled to proceed.
