LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has asked Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz not to issue any new order till the Supreme Court gives a decision in the chief justice case, Geo television reported on Friday.
During a meeting with Aziz, the PML chief said that the government should accept the Supreme Court’s decision in the chief justice case. He asked the prime minister to support him (Hussain) and also convince President Pervez Musharraf not to issue any new order in the prevailing situation, the channel said.
The channel quoted sources as saying that a group of PML lawyers had asked the government to ask judges to take fresh oath of their offices, but Hussain opposed the proposal, saying that it would harm the government. An official press release on the meeting said that both prime minister and the PML chief discussed development projects in detail, the channel added.
Separately, Hussain told reporters after meeting with Aziz that the Islamabad administration mishandled the children’s library issue. He said Aziz had directed the CDA to reconstruct demolished mosques.
