ISLAMABAD: President of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Ali Zafar said on Monday lawyers will do sit-ins across the country if the terrorists behind Quetta blast are not arrested.

“This was an attack on justice. This was an attack on Pakistan’s legal system,†he said.
He announced that lawyers will observe ‘Black Day’ nationwide on September 8 to protest the attack, which killed 74 people and injured over 120 earlier this month.
The president of SCBA also called for the parliament to look into the matter if the government fails to carry out the measures needed to prevent such attacks in future.

While talking to the media, Ali Zafar showed a photo of a suspect in the attack and demanded to know how the man managed to get in the midst of lawyers at the time of the Quetta blast.
“Where did this man come from? How did he manage to reach us at that moment?†Ali Zafar asked and demanded investigation into the suspect.
