The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has announced a nationwide strike on Friday to protest against the Indian aggression and express solidarity with the Pakistan Army.

The PBC said in a statement that it strongly condemned the Indian attacks and expressed its support with the families of the martyrs and the injured.

Bar associations will pass resolutions, the statement said, adding that the lawyers will take out rallies across the country on the instructions of the Bar Council.

The PBC also urged the United Nations to take notice of Indian aggression and demanded immediate action from the international community.
