KARACHI: Police on Sunday arrested Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chief Mustafa Kamal and party leader Anees Advocate amid baton-charge and shelling to disperse hundreds of party activists as they tried to march towards the Chief Minister’s House after negotiations between PSP and the ruling party ended without any consensus.
Police also arrested several party leaders, including Raza Haroon and Dr Sagheer Ahmed, besides scores of party activists. Participants of the march abandoned the road and reassembled themselves near FTC Bridge.
Earlier, the negotiations between leaders of PSP and PPP ended without the parties reaching any consensus, as the PSP insisted to march towards the Red Zone but the Sindh government was reluctant to permit them.
Kamal condemned the police action, saying that the party workers did not enter Red Zone. He said he was being detained for demanding water for the Karachiites.
In the meantime, hundreds of PSP activists gathered at Shahrah-e-Faisal after the government imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in Red Zone ahead of the march.
