LAHORE, April 5: Some PML-N women workers protested at the Charing Cross on Monday to press for the return of party president Shahbaz Sharif. They were scheduled to demonstrate near the Masjid-i-Shuhada, but changed the venue as a matter of strategy.
Some of the protesters chained themselves with the iron fences and raised slogans in support of their leader. Police broke the chains open. Salma Butt, Fehmida Naz, Zubaida Bhatti, Parveen Akhtar, Razia and Irshad Begum were bundled into a police van while Abida Javed, Rahat Shaukat, Rukhsana Kaukab, Azra Qamar and Zahida Waheed were arrested near the mosque.
