Former Pakistan President Benazir Bhutto on Monday ruled out further talks with President Pervez Musharraf on a power-sharing arrangement and vowed to lead a 'long march' from Lahore to Islamabad to oppose the emergency.

Bhutto, who arrived in Lahore on Sunday to prepare for the march from Tuesday, said her party -- the Pakistan People's Party -- will not participate in elections held under emergency.

She met PPP leaders to prepare for the march that will traverse 300 km through Punjab province and culminate in a protest in Islamabad.

However, the government is gearing up to prevent the march, saying it is barred under the emergency rule.
