At least five people including a woman were killed and sixty injured during police action at the Minhajul Quran Secretariat. According to hospital sources those killed have not been identified.
In the early hours of Tuesday, Minhajul Quran workers pelted police with stones and chanted slogans against the government as law enforces tried to remove blockades placed outside the secretariat of the organization and residence of Dr Tahirul Qadri.
Heavy contingent of police baton charged the protesters and resorted to aerial firing and tear gas to disperse the angry workers.
The police said that the hurdles were being removed as people were facing difficulties in their movements.
However, a spokesman for the Minhajul Quran said that the organization had sought the Lahore High Court orders to close the roads near the secretariat.
Denouncing the police action, Dr Tahirul Qadri said that the government could not stop the revolution through vendetta in the darkness of the night.
