Judges Issue: PML-N refuses middle-path solution

Islamabad, May 7 : The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has reportedly refused to budge from its stand on the judges' restoration issue.

The News quoted party sources as saying on Wednesday that a middle path solution to the issue was unacceptable to their leadership.

The revelation came as two sessions of the committee tasked to prepare a framework for the reinstatement of deposed judges is holding two meetings today to discuss the issue.

Constitutional experts are not attending the first session of the committee.
