ISLAMABAD: The unexpected long stay of the protesters has proven too exhaustive for their bus drivers.
The buses were initially hired for three days, but even after the passage of 21 days, the homesick drivers have no idea when Tahirul Qadri and Imran Khan will call off the sit-ins and they will get to meet their families.
Most buses were hired by the Inqilab marchers, who started their journey from Lahore on August 14.

The drivers say their long stay here has disturbed their household budget.
“Being a daily-wage earner, I used to buy kitchen ration daily. But due to my stay here, my family is facing problems in running the kitchen and other day to day affairs,” says Mahmood Khan, a bus driver.
