UK welcomes judges’ restoration

LONDON: The United Kingdom on Monday welcomed the reinstatement of sacked chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Chaudhry, calling it a sign of “real political leadership” to defuse a threatened crisis. Foreign Secretary David Miliband also warned that there would now be “no understanding of a failure to rally the country together”. “I hope that all parties will now quickly come together around a common agenda to consolidate the political steps made, and to agree measures that will strengthen democracy and impartial justice in Pakistan,” Miliband said. “There is now a real opportunity for the country to move forward and tackle the pressing challenges it faces, particularly the mortal threat posed by violent extremists.” afp
