Karachi District Bar Association President Amir Nawaz Waraich has warned that the lawyers may revert to blocking the highways in protest if Hyderabad SSP Dr Farrukh Ali Lanjar is not transferred from the city.

While addressing the legal fraternity of Hyderabad on Saturday, Waraich said a decision in that regard would be taken after the March 5 lawyers’ convention, which was scheduled to take place in the city.

He assured the lawyers of Hyderabad that Karachi’s bar would stand shoulder to shoulder with their counterparts.

Warraich maintained that the lawyers, who had blocked some highways in the province last month, were “deceived” by sending SSP Lanjar on leave, from which he returned within some days.
