KARACHI: Judges restoration committee member Abdul Hafiz Pirzada has said he and Chaudhery Aitzaz Ahsan did not endorse the draft of the resolution. He said Farooq H. Naik also made it clear after yesterday’s meeting.

He said Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari were apprised of the development since no progress was in sight. Pirzada quoted Aitzaz as saying that only an executive order was required to reinstate deposed judges.

He said resolution had to be presented today to finalize modalities for its implementation but meeting could not be held because the draft had already been sent to PPP and PML-N leaders. Both parties agreed in Dubai in case of any deadlock, party heads would be consulted to reach consensus.

Abdul Hafiz Pirzada said he differed with Chaudhery Aitzaz Ahsan in the meeting. He said resolution for judges’ restoration was a political document.
