Lawyers Are Betraying Aitzaz, Attending PCO Courts

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan-Aitzaz Ahsan has once again tried to fool the whole nation by stating that only six lawyers are appearing in Court proceedings before PCO Judges.

He made these remarks in a live discussion between Justice (Rtd) Abdul Qayyum Malik Attorney General of Pakistan and Aitzaz Ahsan in Hamid Mir’s program Capital Talk today, Mar. 19, 2008.

I fail to understand why Aitzaz Ahsan keeps on lying and lying.

Is he a lawyer or a liar?

People would be surprised to know that there is hardly any senior advocate and office bearer of Pakistan Bar Council, High Court bars and bar associations who HAS NOT attended the Court proceedings in front of the PCO judges after November 3, 2007.

I am forwarding here a list of Supreme Court lawyers who appeared before the Supreme Court on March 6, 2008, which includes big names of the lawyers agitation movement. This is a prove that Aitzaz Ahsan is misleading the Pakistani public opinion by saying the lawyers are boycotting the courts.
