FAISALABAD, Feb 13: Differences have developed in the local leadership of Pakistan People's Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz over the anti-Musharraf campaign of the Alliance for Restoration of Democracy.

The ARD in its last meeting decided to observe a Remove Musharraf Week from Feb 13 and directed its component parties to hold protest demonstrations and set up camps at prominent places.

The PPP and PML-N leadership announced to hold a meeting on Thursday night for deciding the sites of protest camps as well as a schedule for the movement. But, according to insiders, the PML-N leaders preferred to stay away from the meeting. The PPP set up a protest camp of its own at its city office on Kotwali Road.

A source close to the PML-N local leadership claimed that the PPP stalwarts had announced a schedule for the movement and decided sites for the camps on their own but later called a meeting on the platform of ARD, which was unjustified.

Meanwhile, the protest camp at the city PPP office was attended by Punjab PPP secretary-general Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan, former federal minister Ahmed Mukhtar, divisional PPP coordinator Raja Riaz Ahmed, district president Rana Farooq Saeed Khan, city president Mehmoodul Hassan Dar, MPAs Asad Moazam and Faiz Kamoka.
