The rally led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman left Lahore on Wednesday evening and reached Gujranwala at night.
While addressing the March participants, the JUI-F Chief said that the incumbent ruling elite lacked the efficiency of steering the Country out of economic crises. He said that if they stay in power longer, the Country’s survival and integrity would be jeopardized.
