KARACHI – Tensions flared in country’s financial capital Karachi, on Monday night when protesters of a right wing group stormed KFC outlet near Bahadurabad, demanding a boycott of the fast-food chain in protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Chanting slogans and holding placards, the demonstrators condemned American food franchises like KFC, McDonald’s, and Domino’s, which they accuse of indirectly supporting Israeli Defence Forces. The agitators forcibly shut down multiple branches across the city, hurled stones on premises, calling on citizens to refrain from consuming products linked to companies allegedly sympathetic to Israeli actions.
