The Pakistan Bar Council has announced that lawyers will observe a countrywide strike today to protest what it called the “unconstitutional moves” of the federal government regarding Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure extension and the high treason case against former military ruler Pervez Musharraf.
The lawyers will observe a full-day strike and will hold protest and condemnation meetings in their respective bar rooms against the government measures to grant an extension in service to the incumbent army chief and “rescue” Musharraf from punishment in the high treason case, said a press release.
