LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Saturday announced the schedule for protest rallies against the federal government, DawnNews reported.

Speaking at a press conference, Deputy Secretary General PML-N Ahsan Iqbal said the electricity loadshedding had resumed again and the government was not serious in putting any substantial effort to control the crisis.

Announcing the protest rallies schedule, Mr Ibal said a ‘public-coordination-campaign’ would be started from Dera Ghazi Khan on October 19 and would be followed by protest rallies in Lahore and Faisalabad on October 26 and November 4 respectively.

He further said that hike in electricity and oil tariffs were one of the main reasons for the inflation.

The government has adopted an incorrect method of consultation in NAB Chairman’s appointment issue, he said.

The PML-N leader said the party has given a full and fear chance to Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) to resolve problems faced by the masses, but they have failed. “Zardari-government’s failure is not the failure of the democratic system.” He added.
