Anti-Musharraf rally in Karachi
2008-08-13
The Pakistan People's Party staged another "Go Musharraf Go" rally to urge the president to resign without any delay. The PPP Karachi East Chapter organized the rally that started from its office at Falak Naz Centre on Shahrah-e-Faisal. The PPP supporters blamed President Musharraf for the economic and political crisis in the country. They carried placards and banners inscribed with slogans against him and many of them put them up on their cars. Many displayed the banners on cars.

Zulfiqar Qaimkhani led the rally which was attended by Nafees Siddiqui, Faisal Raza Abidi and Ijaz Durrani who welcomed PPP workers at Bilawal House where the rally ended. "It is you who made the bad economic conditions worse and it is you who is responsible for the political crisis that put the country at stake," said Nafees Siddiqui speaking to the protestors. He said that the people had given a verdict against President Musharraf by defeating his party, the PML-Q, in the February elections.

#1  The PPP holds economic policy levers. Mushy is still supported on military issues and international relations. Resignation forces are only about 30% of the population. However, Karachi is mostly Sindhis; they are no fans of Punjabi rule.
