Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo, President Punjab PPP, accompanied by the local leaders and workers of PPP went to the Lahore Press Club to express solidarity with the lawyers’ community who were protesting the murder of Rana Khalid Abbas, Deska Bar President, and a lawyer by police firing.
He demanded that the government should immediately apprehend the culprits and award them exemplary punishment for the heinous crime of murdering two lawyers.
He pointed out that if the culprits of Model Town incident had been punished the abhorrent incident of Daska might have not occurred in the first place. The Punjab Government and the police consider itself above law and therefore flouting it with impunity without fear of legal consequences, he maintained.
He observed that the law and order situation in the province was deteriorating day by day and the life and property of people were not safe. They are suffering from the acute sense of insecurity and more frustrating is that they have lost hope of betterment in the state of affairs, he added.
He paid rich tributes to the lawyers’ community that had played historic role for the supremacy of the constitution, independence of judiciary and the restoration of democracy in the country. PPP and its leadership hold the community in the highest esteem, he added.
Earlier, Samina Khalid Gurkhi, President Lahore PPP, described the abhorrent incident as the worst type of provincial government’s terrorism adding the culprits must be brought to book at the earliest.
Those who were present included Tanvir Ashraf Kaira, Naveed Chaudhry, Suhail Milk, Dewan Mohyuddin, Khurram Jehangir Wattoo, Raja Amir, Advocte Supreme Court, Rana Gul Nasir, Jehan Ara Wattoo.
