Large number of protesters flooded the streets of Islamabad, clashes with the police left at least four cops and a civilian dead.
Pakistan Army stepped in, it issued “shoot at sight” orders under Section 245 – which is a clause meant for the armed forces “to defend Pakistan against external aggression or threat of war”.
The clause also gives the army an open hand as it nullifies any judicial intervention or future proceedings.
