'Go Zardari Go' - a new feature in lawyers movement

Commenting over the statement of PPP Senator Latif Khosa regarding that the deposed CJP should not make visit to interior Sindh, he said that Khosa was also among the frontline men in the lawyers movement during the previous regime, and now he was stating against the lawyers movement. He also alleged that Musharraf had been hatching conspiracies from the presidential house against the lawyers movement and democracy.

He said that lawyers since the day first had been continuing their peaceful struggle and their peaceful movement should not be taken as their weakness, while the government was trying to sabotage the lawyers movement by adopting the policy of violence with the lawyers.   

On the occasion, Secretary KBA Naeem Qureshi criticised the police treatment with the lawyers. “People as well as the lawyers’ fraternity do not accept the judges, who took oath under PCO. The movement would be continued till restoration of the pre-November-3 judiciary and reinstating of the deposed judges,” he added.

Meanwhile, other representatives of the lawyers’ bodies also addressed the meeting, including Sallahuddin Gandapor, Advocate Nahid Afzal, Mushtaq Jahangir and others. Following the meeting, a protest rally has been taken out at MA Jinnah Road, staged sit-in and blocked the road for several hours.  During the protest the president of KBA offered token arrest to the police, later the lawyers dispersed and moved towards KBA office.
