Benazir waves to supporters at the rally. She has been asked to call off an earlier rally in Rawalpindi on fears that her security could not be guaranteed by the Musharraf government.
This was her first rally in Rawalpindi, the army cantonment town near the capital Islamabad, since her return from an eight-year exile in October.
