A large number of women took to the streets and roads in Gwadar against the continued arrest of the Haq Do Tehrik Chief, Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman on Sunday. Jamaat e Islami (JI) Senator Mushtaq Ahmed, Hussain Wadela, former Balochistan caretaker minister, Mir Naveed Kalmati and other leaders led the burqa-clad women supporters of the Maulana in the country’s port city.
Police had arrested Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman on January 13 this year for what police claimed damaging public and private properties during protest demonstrations in Gwadar. The charge was vehemently denied by Maulana and his supporters.
