Lawyer convention has been called to reject constitutional amendment
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former Supreme Court Bar Association president Hamid Khan once again asserted that only Justice Mansoor Ali Shah would be recognised as chief justice (after retirement of CJP Qazi Faez Isa).
Speaking to media at the Lahore High Court (LHC), he stated that the national convention slated for Sept 19 would reject the proposed constitutional amendment.
“We would not accept any constitutional court," Hamid Khan stressed. He emphasised that they only recognised the Supreme Court and they would not accept limitation in its constitutional standing.
Lahore High Court Bar President Asad Manzoor stated that the cabinet and Supreme Court must work within their ambit.
He claimed that judges were being influenced and a building was being set up in the apex court.
Asad Manzoor announced that lawyers across the country had been called for the LHC convention scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday).
He insisted that lawyers were with the judges and the constitution.
