Four Pakistani police officers were killed and hundreds wounded when armed activists from a banned group clashed with security forces at an anti-blasphemy demonstration near the eastern city of Lahore.
The Punjab Police Spokesman, Rao Ali Khan, who disclosed this, said the clashes broke out on Wednesday at a rally of the banned far-right Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, TLP, party on a highway in Sheikhupura.
Ali Khan disclosed that the TLP protested against the detention of its leader, Saad Rizvi, who was arrested in April when the group was outlawed by the authorities.
The Pakistani Information Minister, Fawad Chaudhry, however, disclosed that the government would use force to block the TLP activists from entering the capital.
