LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Tuesday in Lahore extended the interim bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Asad Umar in May 9 violence cases.
ATC Judge Ijaz Ahmed heard the case while Qureshi’s council Advocate Rana Muddasir appeared before the court.
Violent clashes broke out across Pakistan after former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief was arrested from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 9.
The protests were held in remote and major cities as the party workers are agitated due to their chairman’s arrest, with Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad summoning the armed forces to ensure law and order. –Agencies
