Karachi: Police baton charged Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) workers as they gathered at Fawara Chowk near the Governor’s House during a pro-judiciary rally in Karachi on Monday.
Clashes erupted between the police and PTI workers as the latter used water canon to disburse the participant of the rally.
Senior leader of the Imran Khan’s party Dr Arif Alvi and some other office bearers of the party were arrested and shifted to Artillery Ground Police Station.
Police said the PTI workers were arrested for violation of the Red Zone.
The PTI had announced on Sunday to take out rally to express solidarity with the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the back drop of Arsalan-Malik Riaz case. Many in Pakistan see the case as a conspiracy against the apex court.
Imran Khan has condemned the torture on PTI workers and warned the government of march on President House if his party was singled out.
