Few hours back, the supporters of Benazir Bhutto gathered in Liaguat Bagh Rawalpindi to offer the funeral prayers in absentia. The prayers went as planned but the activists of PPP went violent after Nimaz-e-Janaza. They started setting public property ablaze. The riot police interfered and started baton charging. This is going on for past two hour by now. It is reprted by Aaj News that police is trying to stop it and the arrests are going on there. The police is facing a great deal of resistance from people. The area around the Lal Hawali Rawalpindi is giving a shattered look. The residents of the area are confined to their houses. The streets are blocked by the arsonists by setting the tyres ablaze. This area is densely populated thats why the police is facing a great deal of difficulty in controlling the situation.
