Dance, dhol and sweets as PML-N supporters celebrate Supreme Court's verdict
Party workers danced to the drum beats and showered rose-petals on the party leaders leading the groups.
As the ruling PML-N declared the Supreme Court's verdict in the Panamagate case a victory, party supporters waved the party's green flag as they came out on roads across the country to celebrate.
Sweets were distributed as party workers chanted slogans in support of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who, along with members of his family, was being probed by the apex court over allegations of corruption.
While welcoming the court verdict, party workers danced to the drum beats and showered rose-petals on the party leaders leading the groups.
Celebratory rallies were taken out in different cities soon after the verdict was announced. Workers were seen holding posters of the premier and stuffed lions ─ a symbol of the PML-N.
Gatherings of the supporters were held at various points across Lahore Lalak Chowk, Lahore Press Club, Gulshan-e-Ravi, Johar Town and Liberty Chowk. PML-N leaders distributed sweets among the public.

Verdict proves is our PM Nawaz Sharif is not “honest”, “truehearted”, “sincere”, “faithful”, “devoted”, and "trustworthy".

Ordinary people dont know what is really happened in this verdict. SC said clearly that NS is not honest and will be investigated by JIC which is going to be even worse. Release of NS from panama papers not going to leave Pakistan at the safe edge at the End otherwise

Pakistan politicians are probably one of the most incompetent people on the globe. This celebration would been ugly scenes on the streets had the verdict been against him. From photos one can see most of them are poor people, except one with the minister, who were probably brought out on the streets to eat sweets. One cannot imagine what will happen after 60 days.

@XOXO shows how illiterate even if they are literate are the rural ( yes because most of the Punjabi's have a rural background) and that's why they vote for whoever the numberdan or so-called landlord from a so-called high breed Rajputana tells them to vote for like dogs following their masters obediently failing to see sense in this case ignoring common sense. Two judges said PM should go home. The rest have sent it to a JIT the PM has not been given a verdict in his favour however good ploy by the PM to fool it's party workers into celebrating.

It is sad to see these people celebrating. I am at lost of words on what is even compelling them to be on the streets? I wonder when they will wake up and realize the truth. Or i wonder if truth even matters to these folks? Perhaps that is why Nawaz is a PM in the first place.

@Marata Yes verdict has exposed Sharif family corruption as is evident from descending verdict of two judges disqualifying Nawaz Sharif to hold office of prime minister and ordering JIT by the remainng three judges. Celebration is an stunt to obscure defeat from public view.

Im pretty sure none of these people read the actual verdict document. This is the exact reaction PMLN wanted from its support to portray that they won by doing that speech outside the SC and post pictures of Eid Day like hugging in PM House. This shows us really how uneducated his supporters are unfortunately. He will be interrogated now how is that a victory. Nobody got a clean chit and he is a suspect according to 3 judges and guilty by 2.

I read the comments of all these literate pakistanis ,ridiculing the ordinary pakistanis who are shown celebrating Nawas's
' claim of victory.In no way i am endorsing their jubilation but I wonder where were these respondents who claimed to be literate when Zardari party was plundering Pakistan. Five years went bye and there was no movement to expose him It appears corruption is an essential ingredient of politics all over the world. Nawas is not the only guilty one.
