NATO supply restoration: DPC to march from Karachi to Islamabad
The announcement came after a meeting of the Difa-e-Pakistan Council was held under Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Islam (JUI-S) Chairman Maulana Samiul Haq at the Jamaat-e-Islami Headquarter at Mansoora on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference, Haq said the council had decided to start a march against the reopening of Nato supply routes from the country.
“The march will start from Karachi on May 27, and after passing through various cities it will culminate in Islamabad,” he added.
He maintained that it would be a peaceful march in which people from all over the country would take part to voice the sovereignty of the country.
Protests will be staged all over the country on Friday against the government’s move to reopen Nato supply routes, he added.

Why upto Islamabad when there is no government worth its name. The march should continue upto Siachen.
NATO supplies were never blocked during MMA govt in NWFP and Baluchistan from 2002-2007. Now they talk of blocking and disrupting when someone else is in power.

Well, JI and the DPC in general have fulfilled their promise of resisting the opening of supply routes. Let us wait for the other rightist parties like PTI and PMLN do the same.
@irankhan: Because the army stands to benefit by the opening of the route and IK is their man.
"voice the sovereignty of the country". No one is a bigger threat to the sovereignty of the country than Diffa e Pakistan Council in itself. Pakistan is much better off without you and your dialectically flawed sense of her defence.
They should protest infront of GHQ
I hope that the leaders will also march and not take the a/c SUVs. Otherwise, this is all rubbish.
Where is Imran Khan? Why no statement from him regarding reopening of nato supply line
good .....
Don't burn down too many houses or accidentally mix the poison into your own drinking water
What a move,its not understandable protest,why DPC think about themselves are they become Tarzan,it wonder create the volatile situation and make a place for those whose ready to take chance to show Pakistan is one of the among installable countries, militants and extremist are uncontrollable and Government is under-pressure therefore if NATO heads of state take any decision without giving any chance to us,are we able to faced the things beyond our control?we know this is all politics,but the rout chosen by DPC its utter wrong log march.if you are not sensible enough and strait approach to deal the very serious issue then no doubt people accept that sort of activities from immature politician,not a long time ago when army dictators was ruling the country,they do the decision on a one phone call,however all these leader of DPC was among with them,at that time,where were they,even army dictators not bother to consider to them,there was no long march,when Mushraf proudly allow American to do what they want.This Government took bold step to block the NATO supply after Salalla event instead of provide the backing and support to Government,there are going to embarrassed us.Now they talking about sovereignty,its shame for them when working with dictators, many member of DPC were the ministers and among of the dictators cabinet.Where were the sovereignty question at that time,hope they keep restrain there emotion and avoid to do the things which are not in hand of the Pakistani's.
Imran khan sir should join too
A divived nation is a nation without destination
Good to see at least someone is standing up for this country.
Silly buggers!
and from Islamabad ,they should continue till they reach Delhi and then stay there
Now tell me who will lead the march . How the march will remain peaceful when there are agents of RAW MOSSAD CIA MI KGB etc,and who will defend the front five row of the march from Drone attack . That is why ulema has decided to follow a new path to peace. Support them and forget the path of confrontation .
good way to make fool to people. the leaders who have make religion as a tool for their personal benefits, once again in action, on the other side our beloved govt is try to hide their cases to reopen the NATO supply line, and I don't know about our Pak Fauj, which has offered life of more than two dozen their soldiers, what will they take??????????
