By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD MARCH 30 . In the largest anti-war rally in Pakistan, over two and half lakh people today marched on the streets of Peshawar, capital of North West Frontier Province.

Organised by the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, alliance of six religious parties, the protest clearly had the blessings of the provincial government run by the religious grouping.

This is the second rally in Pakistan since the military action against Iraq. The first rally was held in Lahore on March 23.
