dunya tv reported that both PAT & PTI got the permission

Right decission

Good decision by PML-N . I am normally very critical of them but its good when I see good decisions.

PML(N) is over-occupied by Azadi/ long marches/ rigging allegations/ revolution(?). These kinda protests are a part of democracy and should be respected by the government. They have (unreasonably) created a hype themselves.

We appreciate the decision of the Government in removing barriers and allowing the participants of the long-march to carrying out rally in Islamabad, now the responsibility of maintaining law and order situation shall remain with the PTI and PAT leaderships collectively. It is apparent that the Government of Pakistan has granted permission with an insight of respecting the fundamental rights of the people of Pakistan to freedom of expression and speech in a reasonable and acceptable manner.

Would have been better had they have realized it earlier. not too late though....

Lol...first in many defeats over the next few days for PML-N

finally better decision is made by chaudhry Nisar. why this type of decision PML-N does not make on time ?

What was so hard about it? Added public miseries over nothing. Cost of container and mud! For country that has no electricity most parts of day. Should have given the rally permission day one, and SC investigation even before it all came to this. People must remember these blunders when deciding who is fit to govern, next election. Seriously, if these people can take this much effort to make simple good calls, all their talk about sound economic management is unbelievable!

Who owns all these containers?

Every one is praising the decision.See what comes next. Hope Govt will not have to repent.

Good decision.

I guess security head of Islamabad & Khakis told them - if you block the march, there is going to be a bloodshed . I don't think Sharifs have any common sense. If they had one, tragedy of ModelTown could have been averted.

Good decision, but for the long march participants, we don't want you here goooooooooooooo homeeeeee.

Finally...a U-turn!

Welcome to Islamabad hopefully PTI will bring the proof of all accusations they are making.

After all some residue of sanity is left in the PML-N leadership. What were they thinking that they can maintain popularity by denying the opponents their constitutional rights. Power comes and goes.The reputation of the right decisions endures, President Bush is blamed for creating Iraqi mess by making a wrong decision of attacking Iraq . President Lincoln is considered the second most important President of the United States because he made the right decision to keep the country together even at the risk of civil war. Gen.Yahya Khan could have made the right decision by handing over the power to Sheikh Mujib ul Reham,who had about 146 seats of National Assembly compared to Bhutto who had only 88 seats in the National Assembly.( I hope my figures are accurate). In any case Awami League had the overwhelming majority of the National Assembly seats. A Dawn Reader
