ISLAMABAD: Authorities have tightened security in the federal capital and sealed off the high-security "red zone" ahead of the Tahirul Qadri’s long march.
The long march will start at 9am on January 13 from Tahirul Qadri’s residence in Lahore. His caravan will travel to Islamabad via GT Road.
Qadri will give a speech in Muridke, followed by others in Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Gujrat, Jhelum and several other cities.
The MQM had announced its decision that it would not participate in Qadri’s long march earlier on Friday, citing “serious security threats” after a series of blasts killed 102 people in Quetta on Thursday.
However, in his press conference on Friday, Qadri said that he would continue with the march as planned despite security fears.
