'Musharraf has no objection'

President Pervez Musharraf has agreed to reinstate deposed judges, reported a private TV channel quoting its sources Friday. According to the channel, the President has conveyed a message to PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari in this regard. On the other hand, PPP leader Farhat Ullah Babar termed the news as baseless and said there was no contact between his party leadership and the president house. Meanwhile, JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that his party and other parties in the government have not been taken on board while taking decision on the judiciary issue. Talking to a private TV channel Friday, Maulana said it would have been good, if Nawaz contacted other parties over the issue. However, he appreciated that the issue would be discussed in Parliament. Fazl said "We'll not blindly support the government rather we will consult legal experts of our party." He said the restoration of judiciary should not be linked with one man's reinstatement.
