More than 200 activists of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) protested outside the Lahore press club denouncing a U.S. drone strike that killed the Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud last Friday.

Around 1,200 supporters of the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) staged a protest sit-in and chanted anti-American slogans, blocking a NATO supply route in Peshawar, the Daily Times reports.

The Pakistan government condemned the U.S. air strike for destroying its peace efforts with the militant outfit Tehriek- e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to put an end to the six-year long bloodshed in the country.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan had called for blocking the NATO supplies through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
