Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto shaheed had visualized much before her assassination that Lawyers movement had political dimension. That is why she advised Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry to form Justice Party. She was clear that this movement has nothing to do with Independence of Judiciary. Her prophecy was proven true when Justice (Retd) Tariq Mehmud admitted that Lawyers movement is a political movement. This was said by him in a TV programme in Channel 5 on Wednesday while Nadeem Hussain was the host.New Evidences have proved that many political activists take part in the processions of Lawyers in garb of Civil Society. Most dominantly, Jamaat e Islami. The students of Islami Jamiat Talba also take part in these processions fully armed and with batons. It is imperative on our political leadership especially PPP, not to be in a hurry for restoration of judges. They have to first depoliticize the lawyers , only then restoration judges should be taken up. Otherwise, PPP government will continue to face unending demands from these cronies of political parties and banned militant organizations.
