During the protest of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), supporters of Ansar-ul-Islam managed to enter the Red Zone by breaking the barriers.
Despite the imposition of Section 144, the PDM workers successfully entered the Red Zone. Efforts to prevent PDM workers from entering the Red Zone proved unsuccessful.
According to sources, the workers of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) also opened the gates and entered the Red Zone.
