LAKKI MARWAT, Sept 9: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) provincial general-secretary Anwar Kamal Khan Marwat has asked the federal and Punjab governments to let the workers of his party and the All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) welcome the Sharif brothers on their return to the country.

Otherwise, he warned, rulers would be responsible for any untoward incident.

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, he said that hurdles and hindrances could not stop the Sharif brothers from entering Islamabad.

Mr Marwat said processions from across the NWFP would assemble at the Tarnol point near Islamabad from where the PML-N leaders would lead them towards Islamabad Airport. He claimed that the days of present regime were numbered.

He criticised the PPP leadership for negotiating a deal with Gen Musharraf. He said the return of the Sharifs would prove to be a last nail in the coffin of dictatorship.

Mr Marwat said the APDM would challenge in the Supreme Court the nomination of Gen Musharraf for his re-election as president either in uniform or without uniform.

He criticised the government for using army against its own people in Waziristan and Balochistan.

Mr Marwat said that the PML-N leadership would steer the country out of the crisis and put it back on the track to progress and development. He claimed that the return of the Sharif brothers would start a new democratic era in the country.

KOHAT: The PML-N workers and leaders from southern districts of the NWFP will gather at Kohat to proceed to Islamabad airport to welcome their exiled leaders on Monday.

Former PML-N MNA Javed Ibraheem Paracha, in a statement issued here said that they would reach the Islamabad airport on time come what may. He warned that if force would be used against them the government would be responsible for the consequences.

The processions would be led by Nasir Khan from Bannu, Anwar Kamal Marwat from Lakki Marwat and from Kohat by former MNA Javed Ibraheem Paracha.
