Since then, the protestors have continued with their sit-ins in Islamabad. The bouquets sent by J Salik, who has been supporting the sit-ins, have been placed in front of the Parliament House, lining the road. The words ‘Inqilab March’ have also been written with flowers on the nearby greenbelt. PAT media coordinator Ghulam Ali said the flowers have been sent to show solidarity with the people who sacrificed their lives and faced injuries during the ongoing protests. “The flowers have increased the determination of the participants,” Ali said. The protestors Thursday agreed to vacate the Constitution Avenue, where the Parliament House and the Supreme Court are situated, for a new site. IANS
