The protests first erupted against Bhutto and the results of the election. After a wave of popular uprisings and massive demonstrations, the government ordered the military, including tanks, to be deployed. Anti-Bhutto protests continued for two months without any violence until June, when 50 were killed in clashes and intense violence at protests. The increasingly violent street demonstrations were characterised by riots and street protests while police clashed and ordered a crackdown on the demonstrators, using live ammunition, pellet ammunition and rubber bullets to disperse protesters while protests consisted of looting, arson attacks and violence. More than 100 protesters were killed in strike actions and massive labour unrest during the bloody crisis. The uprising ultimately led to Operation Fair Play, an army coup which overthrew Bhutto.Protests Against Pakistan Regime Virtually Paralyze Karachi Port 21 April 1977 New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/1977/04/21/archives/protests-against-pakistan-regime-virtually-paralyze-karachi-port.htmlWhat goes around: the movement against Bhutto August 31, 2014 Dawn.com https://www.dawn.com/news/1128830Pakistan’s Black Day July 8, 2016 TheDiplomat https://thediplomat.com/2016/07/pakistans-black-day/ See also 1968 movement in Pakistan References Category:Protests in Pakistan Category:1977 protests Category:Protests against results of elections Category:1977 in Pakistan
