Former Chairman of Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Muḥammad Muneeb-Ur-Rehman has called for a nationwide wheel-jam and shutter down strike which is being observed today.
The strike was announced after violent protests in Lahore led to clashes between police and supporters of an outlawed religio-political party.
Last week on Monday, violent protests were sparked by the arrest of TLP leader Saad Rizvi in Lahore on unspecified charges.
The protestors blocked several roads of major cities including Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi causing massive jams. Clashes between police and demonstrators were also reported from Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad and several other cities where police officials fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse the protesters, who fought back in some places by pelting stones at police officers.
Following that, government announced to ban Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
