KARACHI: The police on Wednesday attacked the teachers protesting at Fawara Chowk with baton, water cannons, shelling and
teargas after which the protesters staged a sit-in protest outside the Chief Minister’s House.
The demonstrators threw stones at the police and the attack from the police’s side left screens of several vehicles broken.
Reportedly, the police have also taken at least 8 teachers into custody. The police just attacked the demonstrators as they set out to
protest for their rights.
The demands of the protestors included replacement of Secretary Education, growth opportunities and restoration of children’s quota.
Just when they started marching towards the Chief Minister’s House from Karachi Press Club, they were intercepted by the police.
The police had sealed the roads towards the CM House by placing containers and started baton-charging the protestors.
The shelling from the police’s side knocked several demonstrators unconscious, yet most people managed to reach the CM House where they
have now staged a sit-in protest.
