HRCP assures support to lawyers’ movement
KARACHI – Co-Chairperson of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan HRCP and former senator Iqbal Haider on Friday expressed wholehearted support to the lawyers’ movement for restoration of the judges, independence of judiciary & rule of law.
According to the HRCP official, Iqbal Haider has assured the lawyers community of participation of HRCP, its office bearers & members in the “Long March” of the lawyers from Multan to Islamabad, for achievement of the said noble causes, which are imperative for the protection of the human rights and national interest.
Haider stated that there is no tenable reason or justification for connecting the restoration of the judges of the superior courts and their Chief Justices with the Constitutional Package.
Haider emphasized that the delay in restoration of the judges as was committed by the Shaheed Chairperson, Muhtarma Banazir Bhutto as well as in the Murree Declaration, is not in the interest of the country or of the ruling coalition parties, because this delay is promoting unrest and uncertainty in the country and jeopardizing & harming functioning, image and credibility of the Federal Government and its coalition parties. The Government should realise the importance of this issue and the earlier the judges are restored unconditionally, the better it would be for the coalition partners in the Government, as well as in the interest of the people.
