Islamabad: Slum-dwellers in the Federal Capital who were eyeing a rally from Blue Area to the Supreme Court were confined only to the National Press Club (NPC) by the authorities.
Police successfully intercepted all rallies from various sectors and restricted their progress to Blue Area. While violent protestors were disciplined, leaders of the All Pakistan Alliance for Katchi Abadis and members of the Awami Workers Party (AWP) were allowed a peaceful protest in front of the NPC. Unfortunately, most of the protestors were unable to reach the site.
