ISLAMABAD (AP) — They swarmed into Pakistan’s capital in their thousands, protesters calling for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation and the dissolution of parliament.

The weeklong protests in the capital and around the parliament building have been loud and boisterous but peaceful. But despite the festive atmosphere, there is another side to the demonstrations — the increased demand for food, water and toilets to accommodate the thousands of people who turned out to support cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and popular cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri.
