London continues to serve as a political hub for Pakistani politics, often witnessing confrontations between supporters of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and PTI. The latest incident has brought former Chief Justice Isa into the spotlight.
Shayan Ali led the PTI supporters in confronting Isa, expressing their grievances regarding his previous verdicts, which they allege undermined the political rights of PTI.
