PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday said that neither can Sindh nor Pakistan progress untill the PTI-led incumbent government is in power.
The statement came during the politician's address to a rally at Mazar-e-Quaid before the commencement of PPP's long march.
The party commenced the anti-government long march today after a brief address by Bilawal.
The long march — led by the PPP chairman — is starting from Karachi and it will reach the capital in 10 days passing through 34 different cities.
The PPP had announced the long march to protest the inflation, hike in petroleum products prices and other measures taken by Prime Minister Imran Khan-led federal government.
Traffic plan
Keeping the commencement of Bilawal's long march, Karachi traffic police have worked out an alternate traffic plan to maintain the flow of traffic in the city despite the closure of some routes.
The traffic police say that the road leading from Gurumandir to Numaish Chowrangi, the starting point of the march, will be closed for traffic therefore the commuters may use the road leading to Soldier Bazaar from Gurumandir and the to Jail Road flyover using Jamshed Road.
Moreover, the general public will not be allowed to use the route from Society Chowrangi to the starting point. However, they can use the road leading to Jail Chowrangi from Society Chowrangi.
The road leading to New M.A Jinnah Corridor 3 from Regal Chowrangi will also be closed for the general public therefore they may take the road to Shahrah-e-Faisal through Lucky Star from Saddar Dawakhana.
Meanwhile, the flow of traffic coming from University Road will be diverted to Shaheed-e-Millat Road at Jail Chowrangi, while the traffic coming from Jamshed Road will be diverted to Soldier Bazaar.
