Never a Dull Moment: Lawyers a Law Unto Themselves
Justice Tariq Mahmood is bristling with indignation. He just said on ARY this one incident has white washed all the efforts of the lawyers since March 09, 2007.
He was commenting on what the lawyers are doing to fromer minister Dr.Sher Afgun Niazi. The lawyers forced him into a room and pelted him with eggs and shoes.
Aitezaz Ahsan offered to escort him out of the building, pleaded with the lawyers to cease and desist from violence. He purportedly told them not to take the law into their hands. The ambulance with Dr. Niazi inside and Aitezaz Ahsan standing over the ambulance roof could not dissuade the lwayers to use it as a target. It has been reported that the glasses of the ambulance were broken, as it was pelted with eggs, shoes, and stones.
UPDATE: ARY TV reports that Aitezaz Ahsan has resigned as President of the SC BAr Association.
‘Today blackest day of my life,’ says Tariq Mehmood
