PTI’s Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that protests would take place across the country and called on the people to remain peaceful.

“Peaceful protest is your constitutional right, keep it going. But don’t take the law into your own hands,” he said while speaking to the media outside the Police Lines Guest House in Islamabad.

“They are looking for excuses to register fake cases against you. They are looking for excuses to pressure you. Don’t give them the chance.”

He said that since yesterday he had been calling on protesters to remain peaceful while protesting.
