President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Ali Ahmed Kurd said on Friday he, along with lawyers, will continue to stage sit-in at the border of Sindh and Balochistan provinces until the lawyers’ caravan is allowed to enter Sindh through Jacobabad and refused to accept the offer to enter alone.
Talking to media at Sindh/Balochistan border Kurd said entering into Sindh province is our fundamental democratic right and we are fully backed by long march participants in our resolve to stage sit-in, right from here.
“The lawyers’ long march aimed at the restoration of powerful, independent judiciary and against the November 3 decisions,” he maintained adding, “We strongly deplore the violence being perpetrated on the participants of lawyers’ long march across county.”
Ali Ahmed Kurd said, “The government of Sindh was formed due to lawyers’ movement but Sindh government, in exchange, returned the fruits in form of lawyers’ arrests. We remained peaceful throughout our journey from Quetta and did not take law into our hands”, he underlined.
He informed media, Sindh government offered him to enter province all alone but he refused to accept the offer saying, I am staging sit-in here and will continue it unless the government allows entire caravan to enter Sindh.
Earlier, the Jacobabad police refused allowing the lawyers’ caravan, being led by President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Ali Ahmed Kurd, from entering Sindh at Sindh/Balochistan border.
Police, on the occasion, produced the copy of the Section 144 before the participants of the caravan asserting lawyers were not allowed to step into Sindh in shape of a huge public gathering owing to Section 144, sources said.
Several police and rangers’ troops were present on the occasion. Meanwhile, lawyers and other political activists kept chanting slogans in favour of the restoration of independent judiciary, sources added.
