QUETTA: Lawyers in Balochistan withdrew their strike on Monday, 45 days after boycotting court proceedings.
President Balochistan High Court said that on Tuesday and Thursday lawyers will observe a strike and hold demonstrations.
The strike was called off days after the Balochistan government formed a judicial probe to investigate a suicide attack on August 8 that killed 70 people mostly lawyers.
According to the official press release, the commission will submit its report within 60 days to the Balochistan government.
The judicial commission will be headed by Balochistan High Court’s judge Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel.
At least 70 people were killed and as many as 112 people injured when a powerful explosion ripped through Quetta’s Civil Hospital on August 8.
In the aftermath, three different groups claimed responsibility of this tragic attack; Jamat-ul-Ahrar, a splinter group of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Hakimullah Mehsud group, and Daesh.
