    Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday termed the Pakistan Peoples Party's train march that set out from Karachi under Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's leadership as "Abu Bachao' movement.

    Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry tweeted:

    Taking aim at the train march, dubbed "Karwan-e-Bhutto" by the PPP leadership ahead of the 40th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Chaudhry said it is the "world's first Abu Bachao train march that is being launched to provide legal protection to corruption."

    The special train carrying PPP leaders will reach its final stop, Larkana, on Wednesday, after stopping at various locations including Landhi, Kothri, Hyderabad, Shahdad Pur and Nawabshah.

    The train was booked at a cost of approximately Rs1.5 million and includes 14 bogies, facilities such as air-conditioned sleepers, a luxury salon which includes a kitchen and a meeting room. Eight economy class bogies and two bogies for guards are also part of the caravan.
