ISLAMABAD, Nov. 23 (TNS): The Supreme Court on Thursday blamed the government for not taking timely action to avert the Faizabad sit-in.
The Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Interior submitted their reports to the bench during the hearing of the notice taken by the Supreme Court on the Faizabad sit-in.
Reading the reports Justice Mushir Alam asked the Attorney General if he had gone through the reports himself.
Jamat-e-Islami Siraj ul Haq while talking to TNS said that the matter of Faizabad sit-in should be resolved by peaceful means.
Lawyers told TNS that the government should find a peaceful solution to the issue and use of power should be avoided.
The protesters have been demanding resignation of Federal Minister for Law Zahid Hamid for allegedly altering the declaration of lawmakers with regard to Finality of the Prophethood – a change which the government called a ‘clerical error’ and has already reversed.
