KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf supporters continued to protest outside Avenfield flats, the residence of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif in London, for the third weekend on Sunday against the ouster of PTI chairman Imran Khan from the premiership through a vote of no confidence earlier this month.

Videos shared on social media showed scores of protesters, including women and children, gathered at the site, chanting slogans like “chor hai, chor hai”, “hum le ke rahein gay azadi”, “Amreeka ka jo yar hai, ghaddar ghaddar hai”.

In Hyde Park, one protester could be seen beating with a sandal a placard that had photos of PTI dissidents and PML-N members, including Jahangir Tareen, Aleem Khan, Rana Sanaullah, Tariq Bashir Cheema.
