By Saad Saud

ISLAMABAD—President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Aitzaz Ahsan has said that the lawyers fraternity have no reservations over Murree Declaration and its points are very clear.
Talking to reporters after meeting with deposed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary here on Friday, the President SCBA said that Co-Chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif have signed the declaration with sincerity.
Shaheed Benazir Bhutto in her life said that flag would be hoisted at the house of deposed Chief Justice, he added.
Responding to a question, the President SCBA said that Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary is still the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Parliament through a resolution with simple majority can restore the judges. The President SCBA said that the Parliament did not discuss with us over the presentation of any resolution in the Parliament regarding restoration of the judges, however, we have complete confidence over the Parliament.
He said that Qazi Hussain Ahmed and Sheikh Akram Advocate are our friends and we respect their views.
Chaudhary Aitzaz Ahsan in a question said that he belongs to Pakistan Peoples Party and it is strong possibility that he would contest in by-poll.
Answering a question, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan said Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary expressed condolence with Zardari on the death of Benazir Bhutto and emphasized not to make that meeting a political issue.
Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary during the meeting, which lasted for 20 to 25 minutes, did not discuss the restoration of the judges, added President SCBA.
