| 2007-10-18 |
| Hundreds of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and other opposition activists protested in front of the Supreme Court (SC) as the hearing of a petition against the deportation of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif began on Wednesday. They yelled slogans against the government and denounced the deportation of the PML-N chief. Hamza Shahbaz and former MNA Khawaja Asif had filed the petition on behalf of Nawaz Sharif. The protesters became agitated when they were barred from entering the SC premises and disrupted traffic and damaged an official vehicle, undisturbed by the policemen guarding the compound. Activists of the Jamaat-e-Islami and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf also participated in the protest. Holding the flags of their parties and photographs of PML-N leaders, they marched on Constitution Avenue and chanted slogans against President Pervez Musharraf and in favour of Nawaz Sharif. |
