PESHAWAR:


Lawyers throughout Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) stayed away from courts after the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council (KPBC) called for a protest against the defilement of the Holy Quran by foreign troops in Afghanistan. Lawyers from Peshawar, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Lakki Marwat and other areas in K-P did not attend any court sessions.


The lawyers, in a meeting of the Peshawar High Court Bar Council (PHCBC) at the Peshawar High Court (PHC) not only demanded punishment for the foreign troops involved in the desecration but also passed a resolution demanding complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.

So strange, whatever worst done by americans but poor Pakistanis (looking for INSAF) suffer in the hands of so called educated people in black uniform.

Lawyers, you are already burning the essence of Quran everyday in and out of Courts, it does not matter if a printed book is burned.
