“On Monday, Nawaz Sharif will hold meetings with party leaders and discuss proposals, including whether to take out another procession from Lahore to Faisalabad or Multan, or Islamabad to Abbottabad or Peshawar in the second phase of the campaign,” the former information minister said.
Rashid, who lost his job after the Dawn leaks controversy expressed that it was not a long march but a campaign to meet people on roads who want the respect of their vote.

The third-time elected premier Nawaz Sharif faced one of the worst blows of his political stint when on July 28, the top court ordered his disqualification for concealing his employment with Capital FZE, a firm managed by his younger son Hassan Nawaz.
After the verdict, Sharif took a rally from Islamabad on Wednesday that completed its journey in four days.
In his explosive addresses, Nawaz Sharif, who can never become a legislator again, urged the masses to help him establish civilian supremacy in the country.
The former premier also hinted at amending the constitution in a move that political observers think points to abolishing article 62, 63 of the Constitution, that led to his disqualification.
