Summary Participants of long march pushed aside barricades and moved towards D Chowk.

 

Protesters calling for political reforms are pushing aside barricades protecting the government center in capital Islamabad.

 

Some protesters moved toward D Chowk in front of the Parliament House, but there have been no clashes with security authorities early Tuesday morning.

 

Thousands of Pakistanis fed up with a government they say is corrupt and indifferent to their problems descended on the capital Monday.

 

The rally was organized by Tahir-ul-Qadri, who just recently returned after living for years in Canada. His entry into Pakistan politics has worried some that he is seeking to derail upcoming elections.
