Sindh, Pakistan: Demanding the release of MNA Ali Wazir, the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) members continued their sit-in protest outside the Sindh Assembly in Pakistan on Monday.

Wazir has now spent nearly 14 months in prison for allegedly delivering anti-state speeches in Karachi.

A large number of PTM supporters attended the sit-in, where they demanded of the Pakistan Peoples Party’s provincial government to discard the FIRs lodged against Wazir and listen to the grievances of the Pashtuns permanently residing in Karachi, reports The News International.

PTM leaders, including its chief Manzoor Pashteen, told the newspaper the group would continue to stage its protest sit-in till a notification for the release of the lawmaker was issued.
