The Co-ordination Committee comprising presidents of all Pakistan bar councils, Supreme Court Bar Association, all four provincial bar councils and all four provincial High Court Bar associations has rejected the strike call, saying that only it has the authority to decide about the strike.
This was stated in a joint statement issued here on Sunday by Supreme Court Bar Association President Yasin Azad, Pakistan Bar Council Vice Chairman Akhtar Hussain, Punjab Bar Council Vice Chairman Malik Ghulam Abbas Niswana, Lahore High Court Bar President Shehram Sarwar and Pakistan Bar Council member and former vice president LHC Bar Ahsan Bhon Advocate.
Reacting on a news item published in a section of press regarding All Pakistan Representative Lawyers Convention, they said that there was no link of lawyers with any announcement of a defeated senior vice president of bar council and Tehreek-e-Insaaf senior vice president at a so-called lawyers' convention.
They said the lawyers took decisions through their elected bodies and they were well aware of their duties and rights.
They said that some defeated elements could not make the lawyers leave their mission. They said the meeting of defeated elements was unconstitutional and any call announced by them was violation of Pakistan Bar Council Act and rules.
They said such elements were not only scandalizing the judiciary but also wanted to make it a party. The lawyers' community condemned such negative efforts at all levels.
They alleged these elements supported dictators in their cases. They said that no one could be allowed to use the lawyers' community for their own agenda.
