Lawyers dismayed over ruling coalition 'promises'

LAHORE - The lawyers’ fraternity while continuing their daily token protest for the restoration of the deposed judges Saturday demanded appointment of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan as president of the country.

Lawyers held token boycott of the courts and protest camps at the Lahore High Court Bar where they gathered and chanted slogans for immediate reinstatement of the judges and making Dr Khan as President of the country.

The lawyers expressed dismay over the PPP leadership’s reluctance to restore the judges. They expressed their commitment to continue the struggle. Lawyers said that circumstances justified appointment of Dr Khan as president of the country but certain forces did not want him to this office. They said Dr Khan had made so prestigious services for the country that he could easily command confidence of the people and can take the decisions, which have to benefit the country in a big way.
