Ninety-year-old Aziz Begum is perhaps the senior most participant of the 'Long March' in Islamabad. She is determined to be around till the show is over.
She has come all the way from Wazirabad to take part in what she says a noble cause for reinstatement of deposed judges and packing up of President General (r) Pervez Musharraf.
...
Aziz Begum is happy to be in Islamabad at this juncture and says she will go back triumphantly as will the lawyers, who have gathered here from all across the country.
"I have braved sweltering weather at this age just to see that the nation gets out of the troubles as a result of the legal fraternity's unprecedented sacrifices. Free judiciary is the panacea for all ills," she says in a thoughtful manner while trying to comfort herself with a handmade fan (pakkhi), she brought with her from Wazirabad.
The old woman says she does not fear anyone. And counter-questioned this correspondent, why should she hesitate from speaking the truth and alleged Musharraf and Chaudhrys of Gujrat had not done any good to the country.

Thanks for this information. I love the idea that at least there are some old participants who participated,
This story is a challenge to all of us. If Aziz was able to participate, we young ones should also participate.
