A road leading from Sindh to Balochistan has been blocked at Zero Point as protestors gather and chant slogans of ‘Go Niazi Go’
JUI-F announced the closure of major roads across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today.
The party’s media cell on Wednesday said that the roads would be closed as part of ‘Plan-B’ of the protests.
The road blocked announced by the party in the province are:
- Bannu Indus Highway will be closed in Bannu
- Shahra-e-Resham in Hazara division
- GT Road will be closed at Hakimabad, Nowshera
- Chakdara Road in Malakand division, which is expected to be closed at noon
The party urged workers to remain peaceful and give way to patients commuting.
PPP, which has so far supported JUI-F’s protest, declares that it will not allow the right-wing party to expand its protests into PPP-ruled Sindh.
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman called off the party’s 13-day sit-in in Islamabad on Wednesday and announced that his party’s anti-government movement would continue across the country.
In Karachi, Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani was asked about the proposed plan of blockades of roads and highways by the JUI-F.
“It can never be allowed,” he said.
“If any individual or group plans to take to the streets, blocks the roads, puts hurdles to people’s life and challenge the writ of the government, it’s not going to happen. We don’t want anyone to disturb common man’s life and it’s the prime duty of the government to keep regular business normal with all due security and protection.”
