Lawyers to observe strike on March 21

18 Mar, 2007

After the massive joint protest here, the lawyers community is planning to give a countrywide wheel-jam and shutter-down strike call for Wednesday (March 21), sources of bar councils told on Saturday.
They said the protest call would be given against the attack on the offices of 'The News', 'Jang' and 'Geo TV' in Islamabad besides the presidential reference against Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
A three-member committee comprising presidents of the Punjab, Islamabad and Rawalpindi bar associations reportedly met in Islamabad on Saturday to discuss the 'three-point agenda' and chalk out a strategy for the countrywide protest.
