Opposition celebrates PM’s disqualification
People in many districts of Punjab were seen dancing in the streets, distributing sweets and organising rallies in favour of the decision.
Workers from the PTI, the PML-N and lawyers offered prayers in front of the Prime Minister’s Camp in Multan. The women and youth wings of both parties also joined in on the celebrations.
High Court Bar Multan President Mehmood Ashraf said section 190 will be implemented on the government if the disqualification is not accepted by the government.

The next PM should be from Punjab. It would be great if it were Dr. Aitizaz Ahsan, however it looks like the PPP is going to go to the same south Punjab area. It is a shame that the institutions cannot get along and the egos got the better of them. Every elected govt without fail has been dismissed with the connivance of SC. Generals alone are not responsible from hanging ZAB to the PCO judges. Here is an article that covers recent happenings as if nothing has changed in Pakistan in half a century. This also shows how East Pakistan was forced to leave the federation.
Am surprised...is this a top story?
wow. can people get any lower? PTI and PML-N supporters know how to hit below the belt.
What a pity! In this country, contempt of court is a more sensitive issue than contempt of basic human rights! The nation is deprived of water, electricity, deprived of cheap food, the rule of law, corrupts and the corruption are everywhere but where is the Supreme Court! Should have taken the Suo Moto on these issues also and should have shown this government the way to accountability.
@Ali: Ha and what about the 4 years of disaster that this government has caused? Was that the revenge for voting these good for nothing in the elections for the sake of democracy.......
What about disqualifying a convicted CM from Punjab? I am no fan of PPP - our judiciary may be free but it is completely biased in favour of PMLN.
Nothing to celebrate, this is the revenge of call of Abdul Qadir Gilani to Mubashar Lucqman.
