KARACHI: Negotiations between the Sindh government and representatives of the lawyers’ community proved successful, which resulted in peaceful dispersion of the lawyers from PIDC Chowk.
The lawyers’ organisations gave the Sindh government a 15-day deadline to address their ‘charter of demands’.
Lawyers’ leader Aamir Warraich, while speaking to the media, said the government had assured them that the pending appeal would be withdrawn and that progress would be made on the remaining demands, as well. Due to the government’s serious approach and immediate engagement, the lawyers had decided to temporarily call off their protest.
During the negotiations, Sindh Minister for Local Government Syed Nasir Hussain Shah appreciated the role of the legal fraternity and said, “We salute your struggle. Lawyers have always stood by democracy, justice, and the rights of the people.”
He said the Chief Minister was fully briefed on the matter and had directed that all demands be reviewed in the cabinet meeting before a final decision.
