Supporters and activists of Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazal (JUI-F) held protest sit-ins on three main thoroughfares of Karachi, Super Highway, Hub River Road and National Highway against the Parliament Lodges incident.

The Islamabad police on Thursday stormed the Parliament Lodges and arrested member Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) MNA Salahuddin Ayubi and 11 others. The police entered the lodges on a tip-off pertaining to the presence of volunteers of JUI-F's subsidiary Ansarul Islam. About 10 to 12 workers of the party were apprehended following the failure of talks.

The sit-ins caused miles-long traffic jam on the three highways. JUI-F Sindh spokesman said that the protest would continue till the direction and strategy of the central leadership.
