New Delhi:  Anti-government sentiments are becoming louder in Pakistan after the re-emergence of Minhajul Quran International chief Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri in Islamabad.
Thousands of protesters on Monday marched towards Islamabad to join the massive rally called by the Muslim cleric Qadri against the PPP-led Pakistan government.
Qadri had earlier addressed a large gathering at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore on December 24 and gave the government time till January 10 to carry out electoral reforms. That time, he had also warned to lead a march in Islamabad with his followers on January 14 and stage a sit-in protest in support of his demands.
Terming Pakistan government corrupt and dysfunctional, Qadri demanded postponement of upcoming general elections. He also sought help from Pakistan Army to support his movement. Meanwhile, fearing of any untoward situation, President Zardari has sent his family members to Dubai.
