LAHORE, Pakistan: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday declared the demands by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) as unconstitutional.

In its nine-page verdict in the case against the PTI’s Azadi march and the PTA’s Inqalab march, the high court declared unconstitutional both the parties’ demands which are as follows:

• The Prime Minister of Pakistan should resign;
