Lawyers clashing with the police?. Well, this is what has become of Jinnah's Pakistan. Lawyers have somehow misunderstood their job. They are behaving like an unruly mob who believes they are above the law and can take the law in their own hand, whenever convenient. I wonder who is teaching them to behave in this way?. Shame shame shame. How do we expect these people to defend the very law they are breaking ?

I strongly urge the authorities to take strict action against the rogue lawyers.
