LAHORE, Jan 21: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Justice (retired)wajihuddin has said a revolution will come in six months if all government officers abandoned their perks and started living like common citizens.

Addressing a gathering of lawyers at Aiwan-i-Adl here on Saturday, he said the government officers should be ordered to use public transport instead of luxury cars, send their children to government schools and get medical treatment at public sector hospitals. This change could bring revolution in country within six months, he added.

He said neither the parliament nor the judiciary, but the Constitution was supreme and government should implement court's decisions. He said lawyers would stand by the judiciary against any unconstitutional move of the government.

Justice Wajih said the lawyers made possible establishment of an independent judiciary in the country. The judiciary after its restoration performed well but it could not be called an ideal judiciary, he added.

About immunity to president, he said Article 248 of the Constitution did provide immunity to president but only against criminal cases and non-implementation of NRO judgment was a constitutional matter. And the immunity against proceedings was for Pakistani courts not foreign ones, he added. He urged lawyers to partake in next elections from the platform of the PTI.
