Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for chalking out measures — legal, constitutional and administrative — to prevent a repeat of the May 9 events.

Addressing a high-level moot attended by the top brass of the military, the premier asserted that violent protests of May 9 severely damaged Pakistan and “billions of people are angry and upset even today”.

“I believe that the NSC meeting today expresses solidarity with the Pakistan Army, condemns these incidents and law will take its course … no one will be given undue punishment but those who are guilty won’t be spared.”
