IG has been instructed to avoid using force against lawyers, Maryam Nawaz

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that she has instructed the IG to avoid using force against lawyers.

In a statement, Maryam Nawaz has said that lawyers should also resolve matters amicably with the High Court.

Maryam Nawaz says that confrontation should be avoided for the protection of the citizens of Lahore.

It should be noted that the lawyers went to Baphar in Lahore, who pelted stones at the police while protesting in GPO Chowk.

The lawyers removed the barriers and tried to enter the High Court.

The police have lathi-charged and shelled the lawyers, and have also used water cannons to disperse them.
