LAHORE: PPP leader and former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association Aitzaz Ahsan has confirmed reports that he has been offered a senior position in the government.

Talking to newsmen after a ceremony making the birth anniversary of Allama Iqbal on Monday, he avoided naming the position offered to him by saying that ‘it will ruin peaceful nights of some people’.

Last week, reports had suggested that Mr Ahsan had been offered the post of Punjab governor or attorney-general.

He said he was part of the PPP and there was nothing wrong in accepting an official position.

He advised the people who had benefited from the NRO after Feb 4, 2008, to get pre-arrest bail because their cases stood revived. About allegations levelled by Gen Musharraf against President Zardari, he said the former dictator had lost credibility.
