Pakistan Sunni Tehrik staged a protest demonstration on Sunday against the Joseph Colony incident. A large number of ST workers participated in the protest outside the Lahore Press Club. The protestors carried banners and placards inscribed with slogans against the incident. Addressing the occasion, Sunni Tehrik Divisional President Mujahid Abdul Rasool said peace could not be restored without taking strict action against defunct religious organisations. Tehafuz Namous-e-Risalat Mahaz President Rezai Mustafa urged people of all sects to express solidarity with the victims. He demanded the government to take action against banned religious parties and madrassas.
