With the three-day timeline for dialogue expiring on November 3 without any response from the government, the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) has announced that it will escalate and intensify its ongoing Pen Down Strike starting November 6.
In a statement issued by its Media Cell, the JCC said that further instructions regarding the course of action will be issued shortly.
The Committee expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to the public and appealed for understanding, stating that the protest is being carried out “to protect meritocracy.”
