Yesterday was Martyr's Day, and as usual there was a huge rally on the maidan.
I am all for everyone participating in such things. I also feel that this is more of a happy outing for all those who come in from the villages around Cal - a trip to the 'big city' is certainly a change from their otherwise bleak, hard lives - and I would never grudge them that - BUT-----------when these rallies turn the city on its head, and people cannot get home - then the question pops up - could this not have been held on Sunday?
