ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has decided to hold important meeting on October 24 for consultation on Azadi March.

Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman said he will announce the next plan of action himself after reaching Islamabad. The protests will be staged nationwide if Azadi March is stopped, he stressed. (With additional input from INP)
