In an incident of its own kind, blind protesters were badly beaten by baton-wielding police in Lahore on Wednesday.
The incident occurred when protesters were staging a rally on Davis Road to advocate for their rights in view of World Disability Day.
In an attempt to prevent the protesters from marching towards the Chief Minister Secretariat, mayhem ensued as police resorted to baton-charging as a result of which several protesters were injured. One of the injured persons was shifted to a hospital.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) member Abrarul Haq said the violence inflicted on blind protesters was condemnable, adding that his party would come out on the roads in protest against the violence.
