Lawyers set August 14 deadline for judges' restoration

Pakistan Bar Council has announced August 14 as deadline for the government to reinstate the deposed judges. In a declaration of All Pakistan Lawyers Convention held here on Saturday, it was demanded of the government to restore the deposed judges by the above deadline or else a campaign would be launched considering the coalition government as supporters of PCO judges. President Lahore Bar Association, Anwar Kamal addressing a joint press conference with Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan and Hamid Khan, said the lawyers convention has not only rejected the November 3, 2007 steps but also the proposed constitutional package. The convention also expressed concerns on the mounting militancy in FATA and tribal areas and held the failure to restore the deposed judges responsible for the prevailing economic crisis in the country.
