RAWALPINDI: As many as four workers of Muslim League (PML-N) were killed on Thursday evening, when a few armed men opened fire on them on Karal Chowk of Rawalpindi.

According to reports, gunmen opened fire on supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, when they were taking out a rally to receive their leader.

Sharif blamed supporters of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) for the violence at Karal Chowk of Rawalpindi. Police confirmed several people had been hurt in shooting.

“Some Q League workers fired at our people,” Sharif said while talking to an international news agency, referring to the pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League (Q).

“We have reports that several people were wounded,” he said.

The caravan of Nawaz Sharif, which was on the way to Rawalpind, has been stopped several kilometers away from the firing scene.
