SARGODHA, June 6: Over 100 baton-wielding people attacked a book stall of the Islami Jamiat Tulaba (IJT) here on Friday on Stadium Road and damaged books and injured six activists, IJT leaders alleged.

They said the attack was planned by members of the National and Punjab assemblies. They alleged the University of Sargodha had not allowed the IJT to set up its stall at a book fair on the university campus and the student wing had to run its stall on Stadium Road.
