An environment of apprehension prevailed in Lyari after a clash between Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) workers. Four JI workers were reportedly injured during the clash, while the party claimed that police detained its 15 workers, including MPA Abdur Rasheed.
Under the leadership of Rasheed, the JI had set up a protest camp in Lyari’s Bihar Colony against choked sewerage lines, which had badly affected the lives of the residents.
