Tearful scenes were witnessed during the last rites of the victims. PTI senior leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Makhdoom Javed Hashmi and other political leaders and a large number of the people of Multan attended funeral prayers.
After the funeral the workers of PTI and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were engaged in a stand off and chanted slogans against Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Javed Hashmi.
PTI in its drive against the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held a mammoth rally at Qasim Bagh of Multan on Friday, in which a stampede killed seven people and scores of others were injured.
PTI chief Imran Khan has announced three-day mourning over the tragic incident.
