A clash occurred between activists of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) outside deputy commissioner (DC) offices in Keamari and Gulshan areas of Karachi.
Things heated up outside the DC offices in evening where PTI activists were present and PPP workers showed up.
Video footage posted by PTI’s Twitter handle shows PPP activists hurling stones at PTI activists while the police act as a silent spectator.
The political workers also used sticks against each other.
The windows of a mosque in Keamari were shattered. PTI leader Ali Zaidi reportedly got minor injuries.
