JI protests outside Sindh CM house for holding LG elections on time
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Jamat-e-Islami (JI) on Thursday staged a protest outside Sindh Chief Minister (CM) house for holding Sindh local government (LG) elections on time, prompting party workers to trek towards the destination.
The party started the protest from Karachi Press Club in the leadership of JI Karachi president Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman. Protestors broke the barricades when countered by the police.
The traffic police said the traffic was being rerouted in the wake of protest as Zia-ud-Din Ahmad road had been closed for commute. On the other hand, the roads leading to the CM house were also closed using barricades, with police officers guarding the premises.
