A large number of PTM supporters attended the sit-in, where they demanded of the Pakistan Peoples Party’s provincial government to discard the FIRs lodged against Wazir and listen to the grievances of the Pashtuns permanently residing in Karachi.
PTM leaders, including its chief Manzoor Pashteen, said the group would continue to stage its protest sit-in till a notification for the release of the lawmaker was issued. They said the Supreme Court had on November 30 allowed Wazir’s appeal against the dismissal of his bail plea by the Sindh High Court and granted him post-arrest bail in the Sohrab Goth rally case. “Despite the apex court’s orders, Wazir is in jail,” said Pashteen.
