The PTI, JI, TL, and JUI have been leading the protests and on Monday workers of these parties blocked the highways
In some cases where protesters have tried to march towards the Election Commission of Pakistan's provincial office in the Saddar area
The protests began one day after the provisional election results started being announced by the Election Commission
Since the provincial results started coming out the courts have been flooded with legal petitions and several candidates have challenged the provisional results in their constituencies in a bid to win the seat
According to the details, the PTI-backed independents have filed the highest number of petitions in the courts against the results
Heavy contingents of police used tear gas shells, water canons and even batons to charge and disperse the protesting crowds
In an unusual move, a senior leader of Pakistan's Jamaat-i-Islami Party on Monday forfeited his seat in the Sindh province that he won in Thursday's elections
The leader said that it was not him but the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party-backed candidate who has won from the constituency he contested
Pakistan general elections were held on February 8. However, it is alleged that results were rigged in many constituencies leading to citizen protests
