LAHORE: Lahore Bar Association (LBA) members staged a weekly rally on Thursday against the 27th Amendment.

The rally was taken out from Aiwan-i-Adl to Charing Cross, which was also joined by Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) members at GPO Chowk.

Holding placards and banners, the lawyers chanted slogans against the amendment calling it an attack on the independence of the judiciary.

They also criticised the establishment of the federal constitutional court under the amendment.

The lawyers vowed to take out rallies until the amendment is abolished.

They stayed at Charing Cross for half an hour.
