The Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan on Thursday condemned the blast in Lahore’s Z block, which killed at least eight people and injured over 20 others.
Further, blaming Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah for the loss of lives in the blast, the SCBA demanded the two officials to submit their resignations.
The SCBA also demanded the withdrawal of thousands of law enforcement personnel deployed for the protection of VIPs, in order to utilise them for the safety of citizens.
As panic gripped the city, several schools in the area, including Kinnaird College Lahore were evacuated and closed down.
