KARACHI: While Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf workers and supporters on Wednesday night staged a protest demonstration in Clifton, the Majlis-i-Wahdat-i-Muslimeen on a third consecutive day of their protest in the city decided to join Inqilab March in Islamabad.

The MWM Karachi chapter, which had announced last Monday to stage a sit-in at the Numaish traffic intersection in support of the demands of Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri, informed the media that their delegation led by Allama Hasan Hashmi was leaving for Islamabad to participate in the protest.

The local leadership of the MWM is in touch with its allies — PAT, Pakistan Muslim League-Q, Sunni Ittehad Council and Sunni Tehreek — and as soon as the party got directives from central leaders, they would resume the sit-in in Karachi.

In Clifton, PTI workers staged a token sit-in opposite Agha’s Super Market.

Earlier, a group of PTI workers staged a rally outside the Karachi Press Club.
