Amid the ongoing protests by PDP supporters and JUI-F against the judiciary over the alleged favours given to PTI chief Imran Khan, the National Assembly on Monday cleared a resolution to file a reference against Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial over alleged misconduct, Daily Pakistan reported.

Demonstrators, belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), have entered the Red Zone while the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has set up a stage in front of the Supreme Court, Dawn News reported.

The protesters earlier made an entrance into the red zone despite Section 144 still in effect in the federal capital and announced they would launch a sit-in outside the Supreme Court between 1 pm and 2 pm.
