A meeting of its central coordination (Rabita) committees in Karachi and London decided to hold the rally.

Speaking to members of the Rabita committee, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said the public and the army shared a united stance against terrorism.

He moreover appealed to the public to participate in the rally in order to prove that they were with the Pakistan Army and other law enforcement agencies against fighting militancy.
