JWP again postpones long march: The Dawn, Sept 4

LAHORE, Sept 3: The Jamhoori Watan Party (Talal) has postponed its proposed long march from Lahore up to Dera Bugti for an indefinite period.
At a press conference here on Thursday, JWP leader Shahzain Bugti’s secretary Madni Baloch said the decision had been taken in view of the incomplete consultation process with some political parties of Balochistan and Sindh, as well as of the difficulties the participants could face due to Ramazan.
The march was to start from Friday (today) from Minar-i-Pakistan.
A jirga of Bugti tribes’ chieftains had opposed the long march the other day and urged PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif not to interfere in the Bugtis’ politics. Supporting the march, Mr Sharif had contacted some political players in Balochistan in a bid to seek backing for Shahzain’s initiative. http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/national/jwp-again-postpones-long-march-499
