Islamabad, Nov. 26 (TNS): Religious group activists on Sunday clashed with security forces for a second day outside the capital, Islamabad, burning vehicles before withdrawing to a protest camp they have occupied for more than two weeks, police said.
On Sunday morning, smoke billowed from the charred remains of a car and three motorcycles burned that morning near the protest camp, where several thousand members of the Tehreek-e-Labaik party have gathered in defiance of the government.
After the early morning clashes, the area settled into an uneasy stand-off. The paramilitary Rangers force – which had held back from Saturday’s confrontation – was in charge of Sunday’s operations, officers said.
According to media reports at least six people were killed on the previous day, when several thousand police and paramilitary forces tried to disperse the religious hardliners, who have blocked the main route into the capital demanding that the law minister be fired for committing blasphemy.
