PRESS RELEASE

CONDEMNATION

Syed Qalb-i-Hassan, President, Supreme Court Bar Association and Member, Pakistan Bar Council, has strongly condemned the unfortunate incident took place today outside the NAB Office at Lahore, when the worker of PML-N, who were peacefully protesting against the political victimization of Ms. Maryam Nawaz, the Leader of the PML-N, at the hands of NAB, on behest of the Government, were severely baton charge by the Police, as a result of which many of them were seriously injured, so much so the vehicle of Ms. Maryam Nawaz, was also attacked.

The incident being worst type of Police brutality against Political workers peacefully demonstrating solidarity with their Leader, reflects nothing else but intolerance and dictatorial attitude of the Government which is highly deplorable.

He, therefore, demanded of the Government for conducting impartial inquiring of the incident so as to bring to book the responsible officials on whose directions the Police resorted to violent attack on political workers and their Leader.
