LAHORE: Supreme Court Bar Association President Qazi Anwar said the lawyers will go on strike on January 28, Geo News reported Sunday.
Talking to journalists after the Lawyers Coordination Committee meeting here, he said the Constitution has been violated by not appointing Justice Nisar, adding there are vacancies of judges lying unfilled at all four high courts.
Qazi Anwar said the government did not put the SC ruling into action, demanding that the foreign cases against President Asif Ali Zardari should be reopened.
Responding a query, he said the next meeting of the Lawyers Coordination Committee would be held at Pindi High Court on February 13.
The SCBA president demanded the government to live up to its constitutional responsibilities by acting upon the recommendations of the Chief Justice.
He said, We are opposed to military interference and any confrontation among institutions.
The Coordination Council announced that the lawyers would stage a boycott on Jan 28 across the country and would pass resolutions against the government.
