The latest development in Karachi involves Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) staging sit-ins at ten locations across the city to protest against the arrest of their workers and police violence during a previous demonstration outside the Sindh Assembly. According to ARY News, JI Karachi Chief Munem Zafar declared that the party's resistance would force the Sindh government to 'bow' to Karachi's demands, accusing the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) of being an 'enemy of this city.' The protests, part of the 'Let Karachi Live' movement, are a response to what JI claims is the PPP's failure to address Karachi's civic issues and refusal to devolve local powers. Tribune Home reports that during the protests, 30 JI workers were handed over to police on a one-day physical remand under charges of arson and rioting, with terrorism clauses included in the FIR. JI Vice Amir Advocate Saifuddin criticized the government for these charges, stating, 'It is shameful that terrorism clauses were added to the FIR, while the real terrorism is being carried out by the provincial government itself.'
