PAT, PTI protesters start digging up graves at D-Chowk
ISLAMABAD: The anti-government protesters belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) have continued their sit-in on the Constitution Avenue demanding Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resignation.

Several protesters were seen digging up their graves. Protesters were digging graves on greenbelt of D-Chowk and also displayed burial shrouds. The move came few hours before Dr Tahirul Qadri’s deadline to the government ends at 6:00 pm today.

On Monday, Tahirul Qadri showed protesters a white burial shroud in a speech issuing the deadline for the prime minister who has refused to step down.

Qadri and opposition politician Imran Khan separately led tens of thousands of people from eastern city of Lahore to Islamabad protesting against alleged vote fraud in the 2013 elections that brought Nawaz Sharif to power.
