PPP protest falls flat
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Punjab took out rallies against the publication of caricatures of Prophet Mohammad (PTUI PBUH) in every district of the province but the party failed to stage an impressive demonstration in Lahore because of intra-party differences. Around 200 PPP members gathered outside the Lahore Press Club and shouted slogans like We are slaves of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and are ready to die for him,
| I hope you're happy being slaves. I'd prefer to die a free man than to be a slave, but to each his own... |
Go Musharraf Go and Prime Minister Benazir.
| Lotta thought went into those, didn't it? |
PPP Lahore leaders Azizur Rehman Chan, Samiullah Khan, Zikria Butt, Tahir Khalique and Sardar Hur Bukhari reached the press club at around 3pm. A few minutes later MPAs Uzma Bukhari and Faiza Malik and a few other female PPP activists joined them. Former Punjab governor Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar also joined the protesting PPP members. However, the two female MPAs moved to another place with other PPP members when they saw Khar standing next to them. A few moments later, Sajida Mir, PPP candidate for womens seat in Senate, arrived at the scene with six supporters and started shouting pro-Benazir slogans.
