Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, the deposed chief justice of Pakistan (CJP), on Tuesday urged all political parties to boycott the general elections, which are being held under the supervision of an “unconstitutional government”, a press release issued by the Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) stated on Tuesday. Talking to LHCBA Secretary Sarfaraz Cheema on telephone, Justice Chaudhry said there was no legitimacy in holding the elections, as the constitution was being held in abeyance and more than 60 judges of the superior and higher judiciary were under house arrest, the statement said. Cheema quoted Justice Chaudhry as saying: “Spies have been deputed outside my house and basic rights of judges are being violated. ‘Law of the jungle’ has been promulgated in the country as nobody has basic rights. Lawyers raising voice for the rule of law and for the independence of judiciary are behind bars.” Cheema said Justice Chaudhry had condemned sanctions on media and appreciated human rights activists for raising voice against the “illegalities” of the military rule.
