LAHORE: The legal fraternity on Monday observed a partial strike against growing incidents of murder and kidnapping of lawyers and held a protest demonstration also. President Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) Tahir Nasarullah Warraich after meeting of the Bar led the protest to GPO Chowk on the Mall Road.
Addressing the protestors, Nasarullah Warraich said the lawyers always strived for the supremacy of law and Constitution in the country but the federal and provincial governments had failed to protect them. He condemned the failure of the governments to provide foolproof security to the lawyers and save them from targeted incidents.
