Dozens of Ulema, religious scholars, and parliamentarians from Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), a party with influence among religious and tribal people, Friday were denied access to Lal Masjid for talks by the mosque''s administration.
Troops surrounded the mosque on July 4, a day after tensions between Lal Masjid followers and security personnel deployed outside the mosque erupted into deadly street clashes.
At least 19 people have been killed and over 100 injured in the violence, according to officials.
