Islami Jamiat Talaba protests against blasphemous film in Lahore
The IJT leaders delivered speeches and protesters burnt an American flag.
The participants have assured the security officials that their protest will be a peaceful one and no public property will be damaged.
Anticipating a possible march towards the US Consulate in the city, the roads leading to the diplomatic mission have been blocked with containers.
Hundred of policemen have been deployed to maintain law and order during protests.
Earlier, participants of a protest rally organised by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) managed to reach very close to the consulate and staged a sit-in outside the main gate.
