MULTAN: Multan police have launched a crackdown to arrest the activists of opposition parties and to foil their attempt to go to Islamabad. Police conducted raids at the residences of office bearers of PPP and PML-N and arrested a number of activists on Tuesday morning so that they could not leave for Islamabad to join a protest rally to express solidarity with Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry.
