Workers of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) are protesting at Karachi’s Toll Plaza, ahead of its planned protest outside the Sindh Assembly today.

JUI-F Sindh Secretary General Allama Rashid Mahmood Soomro is leading the protest, saying that the party workers want to stage a protest outside the provincial assembly.

The protest has disrupted traffic flow at the Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway.

Soomro asserted that protesting was their constitutional right, which he said was being taken away from the party. He demanded that the Sindh police chief tell them under which law they were not being allowed to enter the city.
