12 May, 2008

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said on Sunday that the blood of those who sacrificed their lives for the independence of judiciary on May 12 in Karachi would not go waste.
"Not only deposed judges would be restored with dignity but people who were responsible for killing innocents would be brought to justice," said Nawaz in his message to commemorate May 12 tragedy in Karachi. He said after the February 18 polls, a new Pakistan has come into being and we would not let it become prey of dictatorship and conspiracies.
"Lawyers, activists of civil society, political parties, common men and the media would protect the democracy and judiciary," he said.
Nawaz said that May 12 incident has maligned the image of Pakistan but despite the passage of one year, no proper investigation has been conducted into the incident. He said that the dignity of the judiciary can be protected only in the way if the deposed judges are reinstated.
