ISLAMABAD -- Pakistani officials have ordered additional security forces be deployed to the capital, authorities confirmed Tuesday (October 29), days ahead of the expected arrival of thousands of Islamist protesters calling for the dissolution of the government. They plan to converge in Islamabad Thursday (October 31).
Extra police forces from across the country are being deployed "at the main entry points" of the capital, said Islamabad police spokesperson Zia Bajwa.
The "Azadi (Freedom) March" is being led by Prime Minister Imran Khan's long-time rival Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, who heads the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl) (JUI-F), one of the country's largest Islamist parties.
Sounds good
