Participants in the rally taken out from old Sukkur marched through the streets of the city raising slogans against Daish and held a demonstration outside the local press club.

In Jacobabad, PST activists led by Syed Aijaz Ali Shah and Maulvi Ali Mardan took part in a rally taken out from the Abdun Nabi Shah shrine.
