The most recent development in Karachi involves a clash between police and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) workers outside the Sindh Assembly on February 14, 2026. According to Dawn, the police used tear gas and baton charges to disperse JI activists who were attempting to stage a sit-in as part of their 'Jeenay Do Karachi Ko' (Let Karachi Live) campaign. The protest aimed to highlight issues such as 'crumbling roads, drainage issues, and civic services' in Karachi. Geo.tv reported that tensions escalated when protesters tried to move past barricades, resulting in injuries to at least one JI worker and several police personnel. The police detained at least 10 workers and confiscated the party's sound system. Despite these actions, some protesters managed to reach the Sindh Assembly premises.
