Tensions escalated after the protest when PTI-affiliated lawyers, including Intizar Hussain Panjotha, Naeem Panjotha, and Fatehullah Barki, confronted IHCBA President Wajid Ali Gilani. Witnesses reported that the PTI lawyers pushed Gilani, leading to an altercation before IHCBA Secretary Manzoor Ahmed Jaja and other lawyers intervened.
Accompanied by the secretary and bar council vice-chairman Naseer Ahmed Kayani, the IHCBA president later condemned the incident. He announced that a reference would be sent to the bar council to seek the registration of a terrorism case against the accused lawyers and the cancellation of their licenses. Gilani alleged that a group of lawyers, including Imaan Mazari and Zainab Janjua, physically assaulted him, dragged him, and branded him a traitor. He claimed they were armed and pressured him to support demands for filing cases against PTI founder Imran Khan, which he refused.
IHCBA Secretary Manzoor Ahmed Jaja claimed the protest was held without a formal requisition to the bar, violating standard procedure. He emphasized that a terrorism case would be pursued against those involved and a formal request made for the cancellation of their licenses. Vice Chairman Naseer Kayani cautioned against exploiting the case of Justice Jahangiri for personal motives. He announced that lawyers responsible for the attack would be barred from entering the IHC premises and their licenses suspended upon receipt of formal complaints.
