Action will also be taken against those lawyers who appear before the judges who took oath under PCO.
Re: Laywers reject opposition’s “Charter of Demands”
It appears that BB dosen’t really want to demand the restoration of the pre-3rd November judges, which Nawaz does. I am sure they will find some form of words to keep both sides happy in the end, which BB will then duly renege on in a week.

Thats because the parties dont have democracy in mind, but rather their own elevation to power... If they truly were for democracy, then they would be on the streets demanding the Supreme court be reinstated...

BB has just this morning flown to Dubai. Obviously she is in no hurry to agree to any charter of demands, especially one that calls for pre-3rd November judges to be restored.

The pace of judges taking an oath on the PCO has picked up considerably now after the politicians started splintering (or spluttering) left, right and centre. So that is what they are doing. :)
