Shia protest in Lucknow turns violent, one killed in police firing | ummid.com

A crowd comprising of old and young Shias, after offering the 'alvida namaaz' (farewell prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan) at the Asifi Imambada, decided to go ahead and stage a sit-in outside the residence of Azam Khan, who is also the Waqf minister, against his efforts to allegedly sneak in some "corrupt" office bearers in the Shia Waqf Board.
