Munir said lawyers would not contact any political party for votes. The lawyers were determined to establish the rule of law in the country, he said, adding that they would not let an “illegal” ruler get elected for the presidential office. He said the people had pinned their hopes on lawyers after the movement for the restoration of the chief justice of Pakistan.
Renowned lawyer Hamid Khan said Wajeehuddin, having a transparent career, was a strong candidate as he preferred to resign from the Supreme Court instead of taking oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order issued by Musharraf. He said the lawyers would win the “presidential battle” before the poll, adding that their aim was to get Musharraf disqualified as a presidential candidate.
