As it is all over in the news now, Supreme Court declared the Sharif brothers ineligible for contesting elections and Mian Shahbaz Sharif, under this verdict, has lost his seat in the provincial assembly and is no longer the chief minister of Punjab.
The decision annoyed most of the people in the country and people in many cities came out to protest against the decision taken by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Like many others, I was also stuck in a blockade near Kalma Chowk. People burnt tyres and raised slogans against the president and the governor. They did not seem to acknowledge the verdict of the Supreme Court.

I didn’t hear any news of any one getting injured or ny serious damages due to these protests and I hope all remain safe and calm.
