The sources , however, said that two lawyers refused to accept the government’s offer while Barrister Ali Zafar sought time from the government to delibate on it.
Earlier in the day, Anwar Mansoor Khan resigned from his office on the will of Pakistan Bar Council after he said in the top court on Wednesday that judges of the top court also helped him in writing rejoinder in reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa. His statement created waves across the legal and political fraternities.
The law minister said that the government had nothing to do with the statement made by AGP Anwar Mansoor Khan.
“Anwar Mansoor Khan did not resign by his own rather he was forced to do so,” said Faroogh Naseem, adding that they respected the judiciary.
