Pakistan People's Party starts protest without Benazir LAHORE




Pakistan, Nov 13
(AFP): Supporters of Benazir Bhutto began a protest without her Tuesday as dozens of
cars set off from Lahore while she remained under house arrest, her party and police
said. The Pakistan People's Party motorcade departed from Lahore toward the eastern
town of Kasur near the Indian border, party official Shah Mahmoud Qureshi told AFP.
"There is a caravan of more than 100 cars heading out of Lahore. We are on our way,"
Shah said. A party statement said there were also "thousands of followers." Police
confirmed several dozen cars and an unspecified number of protesters had formed a
caravan. Benazir called the "long march" to rally against a state of emergency
imposed by President Musharraf but was detained at the house of PPP Senator Latif
Khosa in the early hours of Tuesday.
