Re: Dr. Sher Afgan Niazi manhandled by lawyers-Aitezaz plans to resign as President S
What an excellent gesture by Prime Minister Gilani. :k:
Pity that the rabble rousing Aitzaz Ahsan has once again lied to his followers, and seemingly gone back on his resignation, after the torture of Dr Sher Afghan by his colleagues.
Aitzaz may withdraw resignation today
LAHORE: Aitzaz Ahsan, the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), will likely withdraw his resignation on Friday (today) in Islamabad, sources told Daily Times on Thursday. Aitzaz announced he would resign on Wednesday, in protest over the manhandling of former federal minister Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi. The sources said bar associations across the country were asking him not to resign, as the lawyers movement for the restoration of the sacked judges was in a defining phase. SCBA media adviser
Muhammad Azhar Siddique said that around 50 bars had requested Aitzaz not to resign, saying they would also quit if he did not withdraw his resignation. He said Aitzaz’s announcement was intended to calm emotionally charged lawyers, not to manhandle Afgan. SCBA (Punjab) Vice President Ghulam Nabi Bhatti said the executive committee of the SCBA would not accept Aitzaz’s resignation. rana tanveer
