On Sunday, Bagh-e-Jinnah was a spectacle, draped in flags of different political parties and adorned with huge posters of political leaders. Scores assembled in the ground for the 11-party Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) second rally against the incumbent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led federal government. Among them were those who belonged to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Jamiat-e-Ulwma-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), Awami National Party (ANP) and other religious and political parties. Political workers, men, women and the elderly, had begun spilling into the ground soon after sunset. Dr Muhammad Hussain, deployed at the venue, told The Express Tribune that 30,000 face masks were distributed among the participants.
