Pakistan
Muslim
League

Sharif
has
pledged
that
once
he
is
back
in
power
he
will
reinstate
former
Chief
Justice
Iftikhar
Chaudhry
and
his
colleagues.
''We will observe 'Youm-e-Ahed' on February 6 and all PML-N candidates will be called to Lahore to take a pledge that on becoming members of parliament their first priority would be the restoration of all 60 sacked judges,'' the News quoted the former prime minister as saying. Mr Sharif was adressing a large number of lawyers of the Lahore High Court Bar Association at the Rawalpindi bench yesterday.
Calling upon the party leaders to devote themselves for the cause, he said, ''It is very shameful for us that a dictator in Pakistan says that the Pakistani nation is not liable for real democracy and basic human rights cannot be given to them.''
