A nationwide shutter-down strike is being observed across Pakistan on Saturday, following a call by Jamaat-e-Islami and various traders’ associations to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and protest against Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Almost all shops and major markets remain closed, with business activities suspended in several cities, including Karachi, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Charsadda, and Peshawar. Traffic on the roads is significantly lighter than usual, and lawyers have also boycotted court proceedings. Protest rallies are being held in various areas to show support for the people of Gaza.
