Former Supreme Court Bar Association president Asma Jahangir, addressing a lawyers’ delegation on Monday, assured Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif that lawyers are in favour of early elections, Express News reported.
Jahangir advised Nawaz that the PML-N should end its deadlock with the government to ensure free elections, and added that the democratic powers in the country should play their role to keep democracy from derailing.
During the gathering, Nawaz said that he supports early elections in the country under a free and independent election commission.
Nawaz added that his party supported the government in the 20th Amendment of the Constitution to ensure free and fair elections, and the party will further play its role in the appointment of an independent election commissioner.
The lawyers’ delegation also invited Nawaz to the national conference being organised by the Supreme Court.
