ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Thousands of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers and supporters continued joining the ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif-led rally as a mammoth crowd reached Faizabad, the juncture of Punjab and the Federal Capital.
Processions reached the Federal Capital from different adjoining cities and joined the main rally at this point taking the tally to thousands in support of their deposed premier.
The rally took almost five hours to reach Faizabad, covering a distance of around 15-kilometer, which is normally covered in just 20 to 25 minutes. The size of the rally is surging after every stop-over as more and more party workers are becoming its part.
Chanting slogans in favour of Nawaz Sharif, dancing on party songs, carrying placards and party-flags, enthusiastic PML-N workers moved along the caravan extending full support to their beloved leader.
The former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif waived to party workers and responded to their support and slogans. Foolproof security arrangements have been made for the rally during its voyage within the capital territory.
Earlier, Nawaz Sharif was seen off by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Cabinet members and party leaders. He will travel to Lahore through Grand Trunk (GT) road where he will address party workers at different places.
His journey would continue for next three days as he would be welcomed at different places where he will also address the party workers.
