The unruly lawyers, for sale judges and the politics of briefcases – by Sikandar Mehdi
The evil troika of Judiciary, Lawyers and Media has come to a full circle in Lahore, showing its ugly face. Judiciary which came back riding on the shoulders of lawyers has to payback by ceding to their demands, otherwise they will not let you work.
Nawaz Sharif (and other tonga parties) took the maximum advantage of the evil troika. The other party in the mess of troika is Police, guess who ordered the police to beat up the lawyers. Under whose control is the Punjab Police? (Shahbaz Sharif is the CM, indeed)
Now Nawaz Sharif and his people are saying that it is due to Babar Awan who bought the lawyers.
Dear fellows and politicians, These lawyers have no principles; they are always for sale. Remember they will go to the highest bidder. Nawaz invested millions in CJ restoration campaign. He also bought the lawyers at that time, so why cry now that they have been bought by others. Many who have dealt with the lawyers know it that a lawyer in the court doesn’t even spend a single rupee from his pocket, he asks his munshi (assistant) to pay for the canteen bill, then how come millions were spent by them on CJ’s restoration campaign.
A note to Nawaz Sharif and his friends every where. Nawaz Sharif was the founder of brief case politics and it is coming to haunt him. We still remember when Rafiq Tarar, an unknown retired judge went to Quetta registry of the SC with brief cases to buy judges, and guess what they were bought and passed a decision against the then CJ Sajjad Ali Shah which led to his resignation.
Mr. Nawaz you were paid millions in brief cases by ISI to make IJI, you were paid millions in brief cases by your mentor Osama Bin Laden for no confidence motion against Benazir Bhutto and then you paid judges in brief cases against CJ Sajjad Ali Shah, you paid millions to the lawyers in the movement for the restoration of Iftikhar Choudhry.
What ever is brewing in the country will lead to derailment of the fragile system and no one will be spared. Judiciary which has always obliged the politically ambitious generals by bowing their heads, this time will be spending their sweet time (as I said in one of my earlier posts) on the newly formed beaches (due to flooding) of River Indus in Attock fort.
Police given free hand to tackle protesting lawyers

LAHORE – The violent clashes between the police and a group of anti-judges lawyers have put the Punjab government in hot water as the Lower Mall witnessed worst unrest during the last two days, turning the leading artery into battleground.
Well-placed police sources said that Punjab government had directed the top police officers to ‘tackle’ the protesting black-coats either by force or by ‘support’ to restore law and order in the Punjab Capital.
“First the top cops will hold negotiations with the angry lawyers and take their leaders into confidence but if they did not stop protesting, the police will be given free hand to strictly deal with the lawyers,” a senior police officer said, requesting his name not be mentioned. The task has been given to the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Aslam Tareen and Operations Police Chief Muhammad Sardar, he added.
In a late night development, police sources revealed, the top police officers personally contacted few leaders of the lawyers to hold negotiations but the angry leaders straightforwardly refused to meet the cops in this regard.
The police officers are still in touch with the lawyers’ leaders through their subordinates but “if they did not show any flexibility, you know, the police have been given free hand to deal with the black-coats,” a credible police source told this report by phone late on Saturday night, when contacted.

LAHORE – Enraged lawyers on Saturday thrashed the media outside the Aiwan-e-Adl when they (lawyers) were chanting slogans against the police, government and LHC CJ Khawaja Muhammad Sharif.
Scuffle between the lawyers and mediamen started when journalists asked them to care about their cameras and other gadgets they were using for the purpose of coverage, as lawyers were trying to pummel everything they want to do on road.
The lawyers did not care about the complaint of the mediamen and continued their rough behaviour, on which the media men unanimously boycotted the show (protest) of lawyers and chanted anti-lawyers slogans for their violent behaviour with the media also.
Media representatives condemned such behaviour of lawyers with the media, on which lawyers in the leadership of LBA president Sajid Bashir returned to their bar room from Nasir Bagh Chowk.
Bashir said that LBA would take action against the lawyers if media points out such lawyers who tried to fight with the mediamen, saying all the arrested lawyers have been released with the efforts of the unbiased and fact-based coverage of the media. He also condemned the incident and said that LBA was thankful to media for the coverage.
Lawyers’ bodies flay police torture
Lawyers’ bodies have condemned the torture of police on lawyers and demanded action against those police officers who were responsible of the scuffle between police and lawyers.

Honestly, yesterday on TV I saw a lawyer protesting who I can remember being seen next to Aitzaz Ahsan as well as clinging on to the vehicle in which then dumped CJ used to travel. Yesterday he was demonstrating against the same judiciary! Unbelievable turn of events. This is a very good example of how mafias operate. They dont have any principles other than protecting themselves
The LBA President Sajid Bashir was instrumental in protest against Zardari on his decision to appoint Saqib Nisar as CJ LHC in Feb this year. The CJ LHC had on that day observed strike on the request of these very lawyers saying that the strike was in support of judiciary. Now the same sajid bashir and his cabinet are booked in anti terrorism law. What a beautiful example of double standards of Khawaja Sharif.
Lawyers movement was true in it’s nature .Lawyers fought for restoration of judiciary selflessly and refused to Get any offered from General Mushraff.All parties joined this movement and allegation regarding distributing of money by Nawaz Sharif is totally baseless and without any evidence Even Mushraff had offered more money to lawyers and to thier leaders ,few leaders like Ahsan Bhon was purchased by common lawyers refused to get a single penny from govt coz they thought they were fighting for cause and future of Pakistan.
