LAHORE, Feb 26: The Supreme Court Bar Association is ready to extend the March 9 deadline for the long march to give an opportunity to parliament to restore the deposed judges.
SCBA president Aitzaz Ahsan, in a letter addressed to all bars in the country on Tuesday, said “…We stand by our call to launch our long march on March 9. Our purpose in giving that date is to give our political parties the required backing that they may need to resist pressure to give up on restoration of judiciary. We will, however, accommodate any genuine need to readjust to a different schedule.”
Mr Ahsan said the sole objective before him was restoration of independent judges. “If we are able to achieve that end it would be one of the most remarkable achievements in history,” he said.
