Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Aitzaz Ahsan has warned that lawyers will bring out all deposed judges to the streets if the new parliament fails to restore the judiciary. His warning surfaced in a speech to journalists at a hunger-strike camp set up by the Punjab Union of Journalists.
Aitzaz, whose house detention ended on Wednesday night, also said another warning to the first one, adding the lawyers would launch a massive movement to force Chief of Army Staff Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani to undo his predecessor's wrongdoings. He earlier visited superior and higher court judges refusing to take oath under the PCO at their residences.
He said he would file Rs 2 billion suit against President Pervez Musharraf after he consulted with the lawyers. He said the political scenario will entirely change after January 8, and the two big political parties would stand shoulder to shoulder with the lawyers.
He said the lawyers would take out these judges from every nook and corner of the country with the nation joining them, adding that the lawyers' movement would eliminate the dictatorship once and for all. In his warning, he said he and former judges Wajih, Fakhar-ud-din Ibrahim, Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqi, and Nasir Aslam would lead the lawyers' movement.
