On this occasion, a seminar was organised by the Pakistan Youth Movement in Quetta which was addressed by Chairman Tehreek Jawanan-i-Pakistan Abdullah Gul and others. The participants strongly condemned the events of May 9.
They emphasised that Pakistan Army is the backbone of the country's security.
A day earlier, “walls of shame” were erected across Islamabad and Rawalpindi, targeting the leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party.
The action came in response to the alleged role of PTI leaders in incidents of vandalism targeting public and military installations that took place on May 9 following the arrest of party chief Imran Khan.
These walls of shame bear banners that read "Wall of Shame" and "Day of Condemnation of Traitors of Pakistan," accompanied by shoe marks on pictures of Imran and other party leaders.
