Asif zardari and imran khan are together on stage #MallRoad #ImranKhan #PPP #pat #TahirulQadri
Punjab Govt in its attempt to use Lahore High Court to block opposition protests is a bit funny! especially when it facilitated Nawaz Sharif s protests, "Mujhay Keon Nikala" across GT road for several days disrupting all life & traffic

Joint opposition to stage protest at #MallRoad against the tyranny of Sharif Clan and too seek #Justice4ModelTown. People are so done with this fascist regime. Whatever be the outcome of today s protest, eventually all this will lead to fall of PMLN Govt. #GameOverKhoonLeague pic.twitter.com/utVj3RmICu

Heard it s been blocked. Anyone around to confirm?
On one side, while the microblogging website saw worried people asking about the current traffic situation on Mall road, on the other it witnessed some tweeting in support of their political parties. While some users hoped the protest does not extend for long, most saw support for various political parties in the hopes that their demands are met.
