Here is the SAC (Student Action Committee’s) official message to Aitzaz Ahsan:

Text to 03008452200, Dear Aitzaz sb, we have long admired your heroics in the struggle for the rule of law. And been inspired, but we cannot be disturbed by the strange lack of grace and inclusiveness verging on base “politicization” that seems to be in operation. We believe that the best way is for the 3 successive presidents of the SCBA to hoist the flag together. Special efforts must be made to facilitate the presence of the reps of the families of the victims and a short simple speech could be read out, perhaps by the CJ’s daughter or by Mr. Kurd, acknowledging the debt of the nation to their courage and sacrifice. If more time is needed for arrangements, the event could be held on the highly symbolic 23rd March. This is a great opportunity to start the process of healing rather then showing doubt in the minds of the supporters of this ideology.

We were supposed to be there at CJP’s house on occasion of flag hoisting but now we are boycotting the ceremony.

There’s been a buzz about an unofficial and unconfirmed news that Zardari is ready to Restore Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudry through an executive order.  Even if this comes out as an official statement from Presidency, it could be just another attempt to postpone the Long March and the Lawyers Movement.

I don’t suppose anyone is going to trust this statement unless Zardari restores the CJ before the Long March begins. Because everyone had witnessed that Zardari hasn’t been fulfilling the promises he made in past, not even the oaths he took over the Holy Qur’an!

One thing seems certain that if Lawyers go ahead with the Long March, it will definitely be decisive this time.
