PML-N workers in Daharki protest SC’s verdict in reserved seats case

Traffic came to a complete halt on the National Highway on Sunday after hundreds of PML-N workers held a sit-in at the Sindh-Punjab border city of Daharki to register their protest against the Supreme Court’s (SC) decision to award reserved seats to the PTI, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.  

A long queue of vehicles could be seen on the highway as the PML-N workers, led by Hafiz Muhammad Rafiq, the party’s Ghotki district president, shouted slogans against the PTI.

Speaking on the occasion, Hafiz Muhammad Rafiq said that since the SC’s decision was against the masses; the court was therefore requested to declare it null and void.

He went on to say that Pakistani courts were at the 139^th position on the international list. “Decisions like these are responsible for the country’s courts' poor ranking.”

A day ago, a handful of people held a protest demonstration on the Islamabad Expressway and Choor Chowk after the Supreme Court declared Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) eligible for reserved seats.

The demonstration resulted in a traffic jam along the expressway as commuters faced inconvenience.

While some motorists remained in their cars, others sought alternate routes.

A similar protest was also reported from Murree.
