At least 16 Punjab University (PU) students were seriously injured in a sectarian clash between Islami Jama’at-e-Talaba (IJT) and Imamia Students Organisation (ISO) Lahore District on December 22, reported Daily Times. The clash occurred over the organisation of a ceremony in connection with Imam Hussain (AS) Day at New Campus. ISO activists were preparing to organise an event to mark Imam Hussain (AS) Day with the permission of PU administration at lawns of Chemical Engineering Department when some activists of IJT attacked them with bamboo sticks and stones. The trouble began when the IJT and ISO requested the PU administration to organise separate events on Imam Hussain (AS) Day. The administration allowed IJT to organise its event on condition that ISO could stage theirs as well. However on the night of December 21, IJT activists announced that their event would be held at the same time and place as the ISO’s. IJT activists also threatened to kill eight ISO activists to avenge an incident in 1994, which claimed the lives of four IJT activists, and asked them to refrain from organising their event.

At least ten people, including journalists, were injured in a clash between two sectarian groups in Khairpur District on December 29, Express Tribune. Armed men from both sects continued aerial fire, though a heavy bout of tear gassing by the police forced many to leave. The markets in the area have been closed and Khairpur is reportedly deserted, save for the Police and Rangers patrolling the streets. Other reports claimed that there was a virtual curfew-like situation as no one was allowed on the streets. People are afraid of the clash escalating further because the tussle is between two religious groups,” said a citizen, Irfan Phulpoto. He said that the tense areas were Nao Goth, the stronghold of one group and Panj Gula, the stronghold of another sect. Some 600 Policemen and 200 Rangers officers were reportedly deputed to patrol.
