PML-N workers protest against disqualification of Nawaz Sharif

Disappointed by the final verdict of Supreme Court of Pakistan, PML-N workers have been staging protest against PM Nawaz disqualification.

According to local media reports, angry workers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) set tires on fire and blocked the road in front of Data Darbar in Lahore. They raised slogans in support of Nawaz Sharif. Their slogans said, ‘The disqualification ruling is unacceptable’.

After the verdict, Information Minister for State Maryam Aurangzeb said, “We are examining the judgment and will announce our future course of action later in the day. The SC judgment has saddened me. Prime Minister has repeatedly been asking what are the charges against him,” she told media persons outside the court.

SC has disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for life. The bench also recommended cases to be opened against Captain Muhammad Safdar, Maryam, Hassan and Hussain Nawaz ordering the National Accountability Bureau to wrap up the cases within six months.
