PCO judges are 'ineligible', says Nawaz

PML(N) chief Nawaz Sharif Wednesday said those judges who took oath of former president Pervez Musharraf are ineligible themselves and they cannot disqualify a person who is declared eligible by the people. He was addressing to the general public in Sangla Hill. Nawaz Sharif said: "I would have put in the same struggle had Abdul Hamid Dogar been deposed chief justice in place of Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry." PML(N) Chief said there is a parliamentary system in the country, therefore, the President should not have the powers to dissolve the assemblies. "Pakistan's strength lies in the independence of judiciary, stability of institutions and equilibrium in powers between president and the parliament."
