Fearing backlash from anti-government protesters, roads leading to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Lahore residence, where he is currently residing, have been blocked and heavy contingent of police deployed. The move came after Imran Khan and moderate cleric Tahir-ul Qadri's supporters were baton-charged outside the prime minister's official residence in Islamabad.

One woman was killed in police firing and over 350 were injured. The Lahore police in wee hours of Sunday placed containers on Raiwind Road leading to the palatial Jati Umera residence of Prime Minister Sharif .A source in the ruling PML-N said, Sharif had left the prime minister house in Islamabad for his Lahore residence along with his personal staff fearing it might come under siege from the protesters. His brother and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is also living there.

The source said, Sharif will not move to the prime minister house in Islamabad till the police manage to clear the area from Khan's Pakistan Tahreek-i-Insaf and Qadri's Pakistan Awami Tahreek.

Meanwhile, the protesters clashed with police at famous Liberty Chowk and the Mall Road. Half a dozen protesters suffered injuries and were shifted to hospital where their condition is stated to be out of danger. On the other hand, a group of Khan's supporters gathered outside the residence of Defense Minister Khawaja Asif in Sialkot, some 150 km from Lahore, and pelted stones at it. Police, however, managed to disperse them.

In Multan, some 350 km from Lahore, the Tehrik-e-Insaf activists blocked the motorway road for several hours. Police used baton to disperse them. Tehrik-e-Insaf Punjab president Ejaz Chaudhry said, they will block all entry and exit points of Punjab province and bring the life to standstill to put pressure on Nawaz Sharif to resign.
