Earlier, the head of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Maulana Fazl had announced that they would hold a sit-in against the behavior of the judiciary on Monday. Speaking to the journalists in Islamabad on Friday, he says: “We have decided that there will be a protest against the behavior of the judiciary”. He said: “There is terrorism and hooliganism being carried out in the country and the court is protecting that terrorism”.  “The army chief’s headquarters is attacked, the corps commander’s house is assaulted … the way state defense institutions are being disrespected, is the court for their security or not?” He questioned.

The PDM announced the sit-in the front of the apex court on May 12 after former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was granted bail in multiple cases against him a day after his release on the orders of the SC.
