A lack of coordination was observed between different sectors of the party as the provincial leadership led the demonstration while the local leadership remained absent. Speaking to Pakistan Today, the protesters said that PPP Lahore President Haji Azizur Rehman Chan was out of the country because of which he could not attend the protest whereas PPP Lahore General Secretary Israr Butt did not give a reason for his absence. Other party workers disagreed with Murtaza. They said that the party was losing its longstanding strategy of mobilising people and this was evident from the absence of local leadership in the protest. Meanwhile, a disgruntled party worker told this scribe the reason for the absence of important party workers and leaders.
