The prime minister had set up a seven-member committee under Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak to persuade Maulana Fazlur Rehman to cancel his Azadi March that is scheduled to enter Islamabad on October 31.

Backed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan peoples Party (PPP), Maulana Fazlur Rehman had authorized the opposition’s Rahbar Committee to hold talks with the government.
