Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa has announced a march in Delhi on September 5, protesting the government's alleged procrastination in withdrawing First Information Reports (FIRs) against demonstrators. The government had previously assured action following protests on July 25, but the FIRs remain unwithdrawn, fueling discontent.

This development underscores the persistent issues faced by protesters, who allege that despite assurances, the government has been slow to act. The continued existence of these FIRs signifies an ongoing tension between the authorities and those who participated in the demonstrations. The Chief Justice's announcement signals a potential escalation of these protests, with a planned march aimed at pressuring the government for resolution.

The situation highlights a critical juncture where the government's commitment to addressing the protesters' grievances is being tested. The withdrawal of FIRs is a key demand, and the perceived inaction has led to further mobilization. The planned march is expected to bring the issue to the forefront of public and governmental attention.
