No compromise on judiciary issue: Shahbaz

SANGLA HILL—President Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) and Former Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif has said that the ruling alliance is committed for reinstatement of deposed judges who refused to take oath under PCO, elimination of dictatorship, supremacy of law and sustainable democracy in the country.
PML-N would not comprise on its pledges with the nation, he said this while talking to a delegation led by President PML-N Labour Wing Nankana Sahib Irfan-ul-Hassan here on Sunday.
The nation cannot tolerate those people who are trying to create anarchy and chaos in the country, he said, adding that, the honest and dedicated officers are respectable for us but corrupt and dishonest officers would be held accountable.
Expressing satisfaction over establishment of government in four provinces, the President PML-N added that his Party came into power for development of the country and welfare of the nation. He asked that nation to cooperate with newly elected government for prosperity of the country, as the ruling alliance of PML-N, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Awami National Party (ANP) is in supreme national interest.
Those who are trying to create differences among ruling alliance would be failed in their nefarious design, he said, added, the rule of one individual and dictator can not run in the country. The incumbent government would make legislation for the basic rights of masses, Shahbaz maintained. All the minorities in the country would have equal rights. He paid tribute to Quaid PML-N and Co-Chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari for their efforts to get rid of dictatorship.
Federal Minister for Law and Justice Farooq H. Naek reiterating firm commitment of the government to resolve the issue of judges in line with the Murree Declaration said there was no difference between Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) in this regard.
Talking to Voice of America, the Minister said reinstatement of deposed judges is protected in the accord reached between the two parties on March 9 this year.Similarly, Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has also gave assurance on the day of oath-taking at floor of the National Assembly that “we will abide by the terms of Murree Declaration,” and issued orders for the release of judges, he added.—Online
