LAHORE - The movement launched by the lawyers has the power to uproot the government led by Pakistan Peoples Party as they lawyers had ended the dictatorship of General Musharraf, if Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry is not restored as Chief Justice of Pakistan, said the speakers at a function organised by Lahore High Court Bar Association to observe ‘Yaume Iftikhar’ here on Tuesday.
