Convoys of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) workers and supporters, led by its Sindh general secretary Dr Rashid Mehmood Soomro, Dr A.G. Ansari as well as several local leaders in different cities and towns, set off to Islamabad on Sunday to join a sit-in outside the Supreme Court building planned by the party.
Dr Ansari also led a rally of party workers which started from JUI-F’s district office and culminated at the Sukkur Press Club, where they held a sit-in.
The participants criticised Supreme Court’s recent order in former prime minister Imran Khan’s appeal against his remand in police custody. The SC had overturned the remand order and also ordered the Islamabad police to provide protection to him.
