Lawyers stand with armed forces

LAHORE - At this hour of escalating tension between India and Pakistan, lawyers all over the country are with the nation and the armed forces to frustrate the aggressive designs of the enemy, former president SCBA and PPP CEC member, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan told an emergency press conference here on Monday.
Flanked by president LHCBA Anwar Kamal and secretary SCBA Shaukat Umer Pirzada, Barrister Aitzaz said he has been invited by the prime minister to National Security Conference today (Tuesday) but there is a confusion about the invitation as he is no more president of the Bar therefore if the PM wanted him to participate as a Bar president, he cannot do it. He said the prime minister might invite president SCBA Ali Ahmad Kurd to the conference for he was representing the community at present or to both of them, however, no invitation has been given to Mr Kurd so far.
