PTI protests against ex-CJP Isa at Middle Temple in London

Dozens of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters gathered at London's Chanery Lane on Tuesday night to protest against former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, who was attending a prestigious event held at the Middle Temple. 

The ex-top judge faced the protest led by former PTI ministers and ex-member of National Assembly (MNA) Maleeka Bokhari when he exited the venue in his car. 

The crowd staged the protest to condemn 'The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple' for elevating ex-CJP Isa as a Callee and hosting him at the dinner.

A significant police presence secured the venue’s entrance as numerous protestors holding placards shouted slogans denouncing the ex-CJP.

While addressing the crowd, Bukhari reiterated the PTI's claims that the former top judge had targeted the Imran Khan-founded party.

The demonstration was joined by British lawyer Barrister Mark McDonald, who also criticised the Middle Temple's invitation to the former chief justice, asserting it should not occur again.

The Middle Temple is one of four historic and esteemed legal institutions known as the Inns of Court in London. These institutions provide training to law students and grant licences for entry into the legal profession.

The former chief justice became the first Pakistani judge to get elected as a bencher and be invited to the Middle Temple, a prestigious legal institution in the United Kingdom (UK).

It may be noted that the Middle Temple is where Isa studied law. His father was also a graduate of the institute.
