Several supporters of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) have been arrested in different parts of the country as the police initiated a crackdown against the party amid a sit-n at D-Chowk. In Islamabad, several JI workers who were reaching D-Chowk to stage a sit-in were held and shifted to an unknown place in prisoners vans. The administration and police also sealed all the routes leading to D-Chowk as the JI announced to stage a sit-in there against inflation and high electricity bills.
