LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Basharat Raja has announced that the government will make a plan even bigger than Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s to counter his Azadi March and sit-in.

Speaking to the media at Punjab Assembly on Friday, he said the government would finalise its plan after Fazl’s final plan and announcement. He said the law would take its course if anyone tried to create law and order issue in Punjab.

The law minister urged the people to take care of their children and those studying in seminaries should be kept away from political activities. He urged the politicians to refrain from using children in political activities.
