Students claim teachers forced them to chant pro-Nawaz, anti-Imran slogans during May 9 protest

A video has gone viral on social media, in which a student claimed that his teachers forced him and his friends to chant pro-Nawaz Sharif and anti-Imran Khan slogans during the protest held to mark the first anniversary of the May 9 riots.

The video was shared by an 'X' user, named Arslan Baloch, on the microblogging site.

In the video, a man, behind the camera, could be heard asking a boy what happened in the protest.

Abdullah, with a smile on his face, replied that his teacher had forced him and his friends to raise slogans in favour of the PML-N supremo and against the PTI founder.

However, Abdullah said that he and his friends raised Imran Khan's slogans during the protest.

Black Day is being observed in Pakistan today to mark the first anniversary of the May 9 riots.

Last year on May 9, military and civil installations were vandalised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers and supporters after the arrest of party founder Imran Khan in a corruption case, Al Qadir Trust case.

Following the violence, a total of 102 persons were arrested for their involvement in the attacks on military establishments, including the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, Jinnah House in Lahore, PAF Base Mianwali, and an office of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Faisalabad.

Later, many PTI leaders took a break from politics or left the party condemning attacks on military installations.
