Pakistani Teachers Protest
Pakistan: Ad-hoc teachers protest outside Imran Khan's residence in Islamabad
Islamabad: Ad hoc teachers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday staged a sit-in outside PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence here over the provincial government‘s reluctance to regularise them since the date of their appointment, media reports said.
The teachers had first gathered at the Bani Gala Chowk but turned their protest into a sit-in after the PTI chairman refused to listen to their demands, reports Geo News.
Teachers from different corners of the country reached the city to demonstrate.
