PAKISTAN PROTEST

Ruling PMLN party supporters protest against supreme court verdict in favor of PTI party

epa11476513 Supporters of ruling Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) party hold a banner reading in Urdu 'Nation rejects this court, rather political verdict' during a protest in Multan, Pakistan, 13 July 2024. The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled in favor of Khan's PTI party, declaring it eligible for seats reserved for women and minorities and overturning decisions by the Peshawar High Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan. The case stemmed from PTI-backed candidates joining the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) after losing their election symbol, leading to a legal battle over the allocation of reserved seats. The court's decision, made by a majority of eight judges, was celebrated by PTI members who demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner and hailed the verdict as a step towards restoring democracy in Pakistan.
