Eight people were injured during a sectarian clash at Khipro city\u2019s Shaheed Chowk in the Sanghar district of Sindh on Thursday when mourning processions were being carried out across the country in observance of Hazrat Imam Hussain\u2019s Chehlum, according to police.<\/p>\n

Sanghar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Abdi Baloch confirmed the incident to Dawn.com<\/em>, saying that the clash took place when \u201cactivists of a banned religious outfit objected to a procession\u201d \u2014 for which a permit was purportedly not obtained \u2014 following a Chehlum-related majlis at the city\u2019s Asgharia Imambargah\u201c.<\/p>\n

While the SSP maintained that no permit had been issued, the procession\u2019s organisers have not addressed this claim yet.<\/p>\n

Without naming the banned religious outfit, the SSP further said its members had also objected to the procession on the basis of claims there was no precedent of such processions being carried out after a majlis.<\/p>\n

This led to a clash, the SSP said over the phone, adding that both sides pelted stones at each other and used clubs and sticks to hit members of the other group. Eight people were injured in the incident, including a girl who was a passerby.<\/p>\n

\u201cTensions had been brewing between the two sides, and police had warned them of criminal proceedings in case of violation of the law,\u201d SSP Abid said, adding that organisers of the procession had also been asked not to take it out.<\/p>\n

A first information report of the incident would be registered, he said, although it had not been filed by the time this story was published.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
