Speaking to the media during the protest, Advocate Ahsan Adil Sheikh, son of PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh, condemned the enforced disappearance of Advocate Intizar Panjotha.

Advocate Ahsan further condemned the police for their violent treatment of Advocate Romaisa Javed during her peaceful protest. He expressed solidarity with her and called for strict action against the officers responsible for her mistreatment.

Speaking at the protest, PTI Sindh leader Advocate Daniyal Baloch reiterated the lawyers’ community’s demand for the immediate release of Advocate Intizar Panjotha, stating that the forced disappearance of any citizen is a violation of the law and constitution.
