State caved in before Islamabad demonstrators, observes Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday declared that the Faizabad protesters committed blasphemy, pointing to the language used by the protest leaders and participants during the sit-in.

Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui once again showed his dismay over the agreement signed between the federal government and protesters following a weeks-long sit-in in Islamabad and deadly clashes across the country.

Hearing a case on Monday regarding the Khatam e Nabuwwat clause of the recently passed Election Act 2017, the judge remarked that the state of Pakistan surrendered to the sit-in protesters at Faizabad interchange, and that each section of the agreement between the protesters and the state was unconstitutional.
