Nawaz Sharif, chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Wednesday said his party would extend full cooperation and support to lawyers' movement for the restoration of deposed judges.
The PML-N would support lawyers for a noble cause and the PML-Nhad already made it clear that it would not become part of any conspiracy against the government to topple it, Sharif said in an interview with a foreign media.
"We will take every step for the restoration of judges. We will take part in the lawyers' movement and play our full role and there are no two opinions on it," said Sharif.
Around 60 judges were sacked on Nov. 3 last year when President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in the country.
The PML-N and PPP agreed on March 9 to restore the deposed judges through a parliamentary resolution within 30 days since the formation of a coalition federal government.
However, the two parties failed to reach a consensus on the way to restore the judges and the PML-N Monday decided to pull its ministers out of the federal cabinet.
The lawyers community has been making efforts to restore the deposed judges.
