I just emailed the Open Letter to SC with signs and comments by more than 2,000 ordinary Pakistanis (in less than a day), clearly showing that #NationStandswithCJP
Below, I'm sharing some of the best comments
(captured perfectly in this📽️ by my great friend @soufiasiddiqi)

A whole day collecting, collating, and anonymising this data & I'm simply amazed just how aware the general public is! From students to academics to workers like drivers, painters & housewives.
I hope judges can see this and take heart that this isn't 1997 anymore.

And finally, the video from my dear friend @soufiasiddiqi captures the essence of the entire 2,000 comments I read through, only a few of which are shared above.
Dear CJP, please defend the constitution.
The nation stands with you.

End thread.
I really urge everyone to read at least few of the text in the screenshots above. This is the mood of the nation, they know what's going on, they want their rights, and they will not sit idly until they get them.
Incredibly grounding experience to read from "ordinary" Pakistanis

Respected Judiciary, being a son of an ex Army Officer who served his country with his blood and youth while keeping the Sabz Hilaly above any other possible benefit, I advise you to write your names in gold in the history of our beloved country.

Do what the constitution says and I guarantee you will always be at peace with yourself. We all are dust, Pakistan isn't. Stand with your country and people.

Some more comments from the letter to CJP:
I am honestly amazed by Pakistanis. Make me fall in love with this country once again
This is one of my favourites, if not the favourite. #illsacrificemylifeforpakistangrape
a bit emotional this one, but I am heartened to see that there are still some teachers like this in Pakistan who can do nation building
