He said that today’s sit-in against the United State was in thousands but the day was not far away when such a gathering would comprise millions of people. He said that main mission of today’s gathering was to get rid of corrupt leaders and at the end of this gathering they would clearly convey a message to the rulers that Pakistani people were not animals but were human beings and they wanted justice.
