Police resorted to baton-charge to disperse charged activists of Muttahia Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who chanted slogans against each other outside an election camp of the PTI in Karimabad, here on Thursday night. Several people were arrested after the clash in which PTI flags were torched and its camp office was surrounded by angry MQM activists. Several PTI workers and supporters were trapped inside the camp.
MQM leaders Faisal Sabzwari and Haider Abbas Rizvi reached at the site and urged workers to show restraint and stay away from the PTI camp. Charged MQM workers and supporters pelted stones at the camp, tore down PTI banners and torched one of its flags before Sabzwari and Rizvi arrived at the scene. They appealed to the workers to remain peaceful and celebrate their imminent victory in the by-election at Azizabad's Jinnah Ground.
