It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , protesting against the United States President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's recent diatribe. The organisers of the rally had announced to protest outside the US Consulate, however, police officials said that the protesting students were denied permission to continue the rally beyond Numaish Chowrangi, reported DawnNews. A heavy contingent of police intercepted the rally after they crossed Numaish Chowrangi and resorted to baton charge and shelling as the organisers of the rally refused to disperse peacefully. Police also used water cannons against the protesting students. TV footage shows that some arrests were also made during the police action. Dozens of protesters, carrying Pak flags and chanting slogans against the US, had assembled at the Numaish Chowrangi to take out a rally to the US Consulate on Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan Road. Roads to the consulate had already been sealed by the city administration, using containers. ISO and Majlis Wahdat-e-Moslemeen (MWM) have announced pressers to denounce police action against peaceful protesters. |
