Protesters demanding the resignation of the
Pakistani Prime Minister engaged in running battles with police near
government offices in the capital Monday.
The demonstrators were
armed with sticks and threw rocks while riot police fought back with
tear gas, according to footage of Islamabad's secretariat from CNN
affiliate GEO News.
The protesters were
pushing through the wind and rain closer to the area housing Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif's official residence, while police appeared to be
in retreat from barricades.
