Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) were committed to restore all deposed judges in line with their March 9 Murree Accord. Talking to a private television channel on Friday he said, "Definitely, the deposed judges would be restored within 30 days."
He said the two parties had no reservations with regard to the judiciary issue and hopefully the Accord would be implemented in its letter and spirit. The PML-N chief said legal experts were preparing a draft resolution on the issue for the parliament.
To a question, he dispelled the impression that a constitutional amendment could be moved in the parliament under which a parliamentary committee would be formed to make a decision about restoration of November 2 judiciary.
He, however, clarified that a constitutional amendment would be introduced in the parliament in the light of 'Charter of Democracy' (CoD) with the aim of reviewing rules and regulations concerning appointment of judges and judicial independence.
The PML-N chief said PPP and PML-N were unanimous on the proposed constitutional amendment in accordance with the CoD to further promote democratic norms in the country.
