LARKANA, Nov 28: A heavy contingent of police, led by the TPO, cordoned off the district office of the Pakistan Peoples Party here on Wednesday to prevent party activists from taking out a procession to celebrate Gen Parvez Musharraf’s shedding military uniform.
However, some activists -- including Anwar Bhutto, general secretary, PPP, Larkana district, and Tauqeer Fatima Bhutto, divisional president, PPP ladies wing -- appeared on the road. As they began moving to Bundar Road, the police sealed both sides of the road and forced the PPP workers to return to the office.
The activists later gathered in the office and told journalists that it was the PPP strategy that had compelled Gen Musharraf to shed uniform. They called for the lifting of emergency, restoration of Constitution and release of detained judges.
They distributed sweets over acceptance of nomination papers of Benazir Bhutto for a reserved seat of National Assembly for women.
