Lawyers' movement picks up momentum again

LAHORE - The lawyers’ movement that was dispersed after the inconclusive end of long march and judges’ falling to government’s trap of reappointment, has again started to pick up momentum with the participation of their top leadership.

The independent analysts say the movement will take further leap in the wake of upcoming election of supreme court bar association and restarting of deposed chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry’s visits to bar association across the country.

However, the zero participation of PML-N, the largest opposition party in the centre, have astonished the legal fraternity despite the fact that their central leader and great admirer of lawyers’ struggle Javed Hashmi addressed the Lahore High Court Bar Association ahead of their weekly rally.
