Pakistani celebrities condemn the lawyers attack on PIC

RIOTS REFUTED

We are all aware of the violent protest carried out by the lawyers last week outside Lahore's Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC). The incident sent shockwaves throughout Pakistan. Celebrities and public figures also took to Twitter to condemn this shameful act. “Even in WAR you do NOT attack HOSPITALS!! These are the law makers, the providers of justice, the educated ones of our country.. Scary to see. #Lahore #Lawyers,” wrote Mahira on her Twitter. Mehwish Hayat tweeted, condemning the violent behaviour by the agents of law, “Beyond dismayed to see these images & hear about what is happening back home. What hope is there for our nation if everyone resorts to mob violence to resolve their issues?! You’d think that these lawyers whose job is to uphold the law would know better #Lawyers #PICunderattack.” Veteran actor Shaan Shahid wanted the lawyers to be penalised for their violent acts. “Identify the negative elements that are bringing disgrace to a prestigious and respectable profession. Our Quaid was a lawyer who fought for people’s rights #protectyourown,” he wrote criticising the lawyers for bringing disgrace to the prestigious profession.
