Advocate Shoaib Shaheen, who had contested the Feb 8 elections for an NA seat from Islamabad, has told Dawn that protesters would converge on Islamabad’s Zero Point Interchange at 2pm and then head to the National Press Club (NPC).

“I will start my rally from G-9/3. Similarly, Amir Mughal and Ali Bukhari (who also contested elections from Islamabad) will lead rallies and we will be united at Zero Point,” he said. “After that, we will go to the NPC to hold a protest. It will be a peaceful protest.”
