As the long-awaited Azadi March of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government continues, an image, showing protesters wearing Juventus jersey, has gone viral over the internet.
Juventus Football Club, colloquially known as Juve, is an Italian professional football club. Among its star players are Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentinian professional footballer Paulo Dybala.
While the reason behind the move remains a mystery, netizens wonder if it has something to do with the similarity that colours of the football club’s jersey — black and white — bear with those of the JUI-F’s party flag.
AZADI MARCH:
Meanwhile, the religio-political party’s long march on Tuesday reached Lahore via Multan.
After the caravan arrived in Lahore from where it will head to Rawalpindi, a large crowd of supporters of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman joined their leader and chanted slogans against the government.
Addressing his supporters, Fazl said JUI-F was going to Islamabad to announce that the incumbent rulers were fake. “Government should resign before we reach Islamabad,” he said.
