parliament where they have 34 seats and 340 plus and pulling out of the provincial assembly of the punjab where his party has 30 seats and two seats in the province, however his party has not decided whether they'll give up the provincial government where the pti is in the majority. he is saying that they had knocked on every door, going through the country's scores as well, but there was no justice. he wanted a system which would be transparent and would guarantee free and fair elections. so indeed a significant move by khan and not one that would go well for pakistan's democracy. >> in england 35 immigrants found in a container on saturday have been identified as sikhs from afghanistan. one man died making the journey. most of the refugees including 13 children required treatment in hospital. many sikhs are desperate to leave afghanistan. jennifer glasse reports now from kabul. >> you these children are continuing three centuries of tradition in afghanistan, but they could be the last generation of sikhs in this country. it was once a vibrant community. 25 years ago there were 200,000 s

has 48 hours to act, and wanted the arrest of the prime minister as well as the chief minister of the punjab for the killing of supporters. also importantly, imran said the final march is sunday, today, and if necessary his supporters would get into the red zone. that is the diplomatic enclave, the parliament, the senate, an important area. and what the government is saying is the red zone is the red line. in the evening the prime minister will meet his cabinet members, the defence minister, the interior minister, to talk out a program on how to deal with this crisis. >> i was going to ask you more about where this is leaving nawaz sharif, and if he's made any overtures to put an end to or look into the allegations. he recommended - the government has written to the countries, the supreme court, to formulate a panel of judges, to probe into allegations of corruption, but imran khan on the other hand says the judiciary it highly politicized and doesn't see justice there. the other important thing is prime minister nawaz sharif overreacted, bringing in tens of thousands of security forces, per

: first marching towards the prime minister's house that's when the security forces mostly from the punjab province because thousands of police have been brought from the punjab province tried to stop the protesters. after that the people were asked to regroup. the people broke the fences surrounding the parliament house and this morning have pitched their tents out there. the women and children are right in front of parliament. scuffles are continuing although they started on saturday night and there is no end in sight. there are big question marks being asked as to who is in charge, who is running the government, the interior minister looked very upbeat last night saying that the protesters would be dealt with. but they are nowhere near controlling the situation. and the situation very dire indeed. >> and who precisely are the frosters? are they sport he was inning ran kahn and the anti-government cleric or are they not every day people, i mean, are they just people from all walks of life in pakistan? >> reporter: well, one thing that has to be understood very carefully is the fact that

it must be remembered 40,000 were dealing in from the punjab province. they are dealing with a few thousands protesters, but despite best attempts, they have not been able to control the protesters. they are in front of parliament. they were a distance, and an emergency situation in the hospitals as hundreds of people who have been injured are brought in, and just a little while ago one. ministers of the government, when in that area, saw the police attacking media. he tried to stop them and almost came under attack himself. he said he was embarrassed by the performance of the police, and we have been told that the prime minister is now on the way to islamabad. he had left the stay before the marchers decided to move to parliament house, prime minister house, i stand corrected. that is when the security forces opened fire. after that the protesters regrouped and are camped in front of the gate of parliament, the military process protecting the compound. they have been making peace, not entering the building. the next few hours will be crucial in whether

the police of the punjab may have overreacting causing huge problems. i've spoken to someone who says that the situation in gradually coming back to normal even though they continue to insist that he will hold rallies in that city. >> why is he coming? what does he want to achieve, this cleric? >> reporter: first of all there is a grand swell of anti-government feeling. the feeling that the government has failed. it's not just qadri alone. a former cricketing hero is threatening to march on islamabad on the 14th of august, which is less than five days. and if they join hands now interesting to let you know that islamabad is also being seen right now a little while ago driving into the city i could see containers being put on the main highways, and there is no fuel available, so it's not just the city, but we're going to see more here in the next few days. >> kamal hyder reporting from islamabad. thank you, kamal. >> the court ordered the muslim brotherhood assets to be liquiditied. it has sent supporters to prison. the government called it with a terror

should be regist registered against prime minister sharif, his brother, who is the chief minister of punjab. that coming at a time when they were about to speak to supporters who are staging a sit-in. he told the supporters that this was the first victory. he said now that the prime minister as well as the chief minister should be arrested immediately. they should not be allowed to leave the country. he told his supporters that none of them would move out of islamabad until the prime minister tendered his resignation. they showed the people who were killed on the 14th of june in police action when they tried to dismantle some barricades outside of a residence. so he definitely on the defensive asking for nothing hotter of the resignation as well as the arrest of the prime minister. in the middle east they are about to speak in the next hour or so, and he will be coming up with a demand that the prime minister must step aside. >> that, indeed, all ramps up the pressure, doesn't it, kamal, on sharif. can he survive it? >> well, that's the real question here. the pressure is growing. these two

the leaders, imran khan, will gather more supporters as he passes through major towns in the punjab. the two marches are combining and the government is wondering how to deal with the situation, because the local administration has not removed the obstacles. it will be interesting to see how the large crowds are able to come into the city and what steps the government will take to make sure that no untoward incident takes place. >> exactly one year ago, bella asharpliy was taken by the egyptian authority, 800 were killed. alsharmy was held without charge. he went on a hunger strike until his release in shaun. abdullah al-shami credits his release to pressure on the shone government. >> if it was not because of the support of people for this aspect, the freedom of the press, it wouldn't have been possible for me to get out of gaol. looking at the fact that so many others on hunger strike in egypt, and people have been detained every day. the support i saw, locally and globally, and what has gone on for me before and my colleagues is as up toing and as well -- astounding, and we need t

. >> that would include karachi, punjab and the whole area. >> indeed, the capital area. the fact that they called an army, which i have an issue with. so long as civilians will continue to cut on a military to discipline jobs, the military will keep on thinking that they can someday come up and clean it. whenever -- whenever they have tried, they have made a mess of pakistan. civilians have to start investing and civilian institutions. military should not of been called into islamabad. i say this with all humility, but something which i will also check, but because it is an important point, about what he mentioned about the future of the hakkani group. to the best of my knowledge, it comes from graduates of the hakkani group. they have different tribes. one is distinct, but all the other groups look for a similar. that is one point. i will also check. not to the best of my knowledge. >> the gentleman in the blue shirt. >> i really appreciate -- i feel like we have learned a lot about the who and what has been going on. i wanted to get at the underlying why. in your opini
