LAHORE, Nov 10: The PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif again contacted MMA president and JI ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad on phone Saturday and expressed his agreement with Qazi's stance that lifting emergency and holding elections would be meaningless without first restoring the judiciary and judges of superior courts before Nov 3 position and reversing all the actions taken under PCO.

According to a JI spokesman, both the leaders were in complete harmony on this condition for lifting emergency and holding elections. Besides, the spokesman added, both the leaders also agreed that agenda of the forthcoming All Parties Conference should be that chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhri and other honorable judges should be reinstated, and no justification whatsoever should be given to the mutinous suspension of the constitution and imposition of PCO.

They were also in the agreement that complete and sincere cooperation should be offered to each other for launching anti Musharraf movement and every phase of the elections.
