Legal experts agree with PTI's demand but suggested that their approach could have been better. The PTI should have gone to the Sindh High Court for the implementation on the previous orders.
Taking the law into their own hands is a wrong approach, said president of the Sindh High Court Bar Association, ZK Jatoi. He added that the lawyers have consistently taken a stand for the rule of law and any kind of encroachment, barricades and blockage, including those at and around Bilawal House, were against the law. "It should be removed forthwith." He said that rules were the same for everyone but when it comes to implementation, the poor get caught and the rich go scot-free.
Sindh Bar Council member Salahuddin Khan Gandapur said that areas could be blocked due to security reasons in the Red Zone but no one was allowed to block a thoroughfare, especially after the court's orders.
