Around 1,000 Pakistan Muslim League workers held a pro-Musharraf rally here on Tuesday. The rally led by the party president, Shujaat Hussain, wanted to march towards Constitutional Avenue and the opposition protestors, but on the advice of State Interior Minister Zafar Waraich and the insistence of the police, agreed to stop the march at Parade Ground. Warraich warned that marching up to the opposition protestors would lead to violence. Separated by barbed wire fences and police and Rangers, the two sets of protestors traded slogans. A minor clash was reported in which three pro-government lawyers were roughed up. |
