LAHORE: The lawyers on Monday observed a partial strike to protest against the killing of two lawyers in Vehari and Jhang in separate incidents.
The bar strongly condemned the killing of Muhammad Zeeshan advocate allegedly by the police and demanded arrest of all personnel involved in the incident immediately.
The lawyers sought an impartial inquiry of the incident by a judicial commission.
The lawyers also condemned the murder of a former president of district bar association of Jhang Mehar Munir Sial. They demanded the Punjab police chief to bring the perpetrators to justice without a delay.
The strike also caused disruption at the Lahore sessions court, where protesting lawyers locked the main entrance gate for several hours.
The Punjab Bar Council and the Lahore Bar Association had given separate calls for the strike.
