FOX News reported:
Islamists in Pakistan’s capital Sunday hurled stones, shoes, and other objects at people participating in International Women’s Day marches.
The event, joined by both men and women in Islamabad, was one of dozens held around the world to commemorate the cultural and political achievements of women.
The Red Mosque brigade, consisting of conservative elements and a Taliban-affiliated religious party, staged a counter protest across the marchers’ venue, Reuters reported, citing District Deputy Commissioner Hamza Shafqaat.
Authorities held off the Islamists as they tried to attack the Women’s Day marchers, police official Mazhar Niazi said.
