Karachi (Staff Report): Clashes erupted among Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) workers nd police after the law enforcement agencies arrested three members of the party following a sit-in on Sharea Faisal against K-Electric and the government.
Police arrested JI Karachi chapter Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman and three others near Karachi's Islamia Science College.
