The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lawmakers continued their protest for the second day on Thursday during the Sindh Assembly session.
They demanded the government implement the Supreme Court’s orders in the Asghar Khan Case. The lawmakers walked out of the proceedings and staged a sit-in in front of the main entrance of the assembly building.
“Those who are involved in the Asghar Khan case should be terminated,” demanded PPP MPA Imdad Pitafi. The legislators felt that this was a conspiracy against the PPP to defeat it in the 1990s. “We want to know why action has not being taken against these people.”
The sit-in continued for nearly four hours until the chief minister assured them that he will write to the Supreme Court and the federal government.
