Protestors marched towards the US consulate in Karachi to protest against the film, which has triggered a week of deadly protests across the Muslim world.
Riot police with armoured vehicles were deployed to block access to the consulate in Peshawar, the main city in the restive northwestern province.
Addressing the crowd, the local leader of the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Shabbir Ahmed lashed out at the United States, demanding the Pakistani government expel the American ambassador and close its missions in Pakistan.
In Lahore, demonstrators gathered near the US consulate, chanting “Death to the USA”.
Earlier of Tuesday, police used tear gas to disperse protestors trying to reach the US consulate in Peshawar on Tuesday, as demonstrations continued against the anti-Islam film.
Protesters chanting anti-US slogans and burning the American flag gathered outside the US mission in Peshawar to register their protest against the blasphemous film Innocence of Muslims.
US embassies and other American symbols in at least 20 countries have been the cene of protests by Muslims.
American ambassador to Libya and three other US diplomats in the North African country have been among those killed.
In Pakistan, two protesters died after demonstrating against the film in the northwest, close to the Afghan border, and outside the US consulate in Karachi.
A female suicide bomber killed 12 people in Kabul on Tuesday in an attack claimed by an insurgent group as revenge for the film.
The blast brought the total number killed in a week-long violent backlash against over the film to 30.
Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan have all blocked access to YouTube, following the video-sharing website’s failure to take down the anti-Islam film.
Meanwhile, Muthahida Inter-Muslim Forum has demanded the UN to ban the anti-Islam film.
Addressing a press conference along with the leaders of the Forum at Karachi Press Club Allama Abbas Kumali asked the world community to take serious notice of the hurting of the feelings of the Muslims.
Through the blasphemous film the feelings of the Muslims across the world were provoked to destroy the world peace under a conspiracy, he said.
He appreciated MQM Chief Altaf Hussain for being the first to strongly condemn the film and sending off emergency telegrams to OIC and the US President without caring for any repercussions.
