KARACHI: Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) has staged Sit-in at Nomaish traffic intersection in protest over the killing in Parachinar continued for the second day on Wednesday.
The MWM had given a country-wide call of protests to express solidarity with the people of Parachinar who were also staging a sit-in for the past six days.
Both tracks of the main M.A. Jinnah Road, at Numaish, were closed as a camp was set up there to accommodate a large number of protesters including women and children.
The traffic police diverted the vehicular traffic to alternative routes.
The sit-in saw the participation of leaders from various political and religious parties, as well as social figures. Speaking on the occasion, Allama Shahenshah Naqvi said that the government had failed to establish peace in Kurram.
