The PDM spokesman said the meeting also discussed duration of the long march and it was decided that it would be named Qaumi March and Mehngai March which would start from across the country, and would continue till sending the government packing.
The PDM leadership led by Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will also undertake countrywide visits prior to the long march, while contacts would also be made with labour and workers unions.
