LAHORE, April 28: The PML-Q will not support any resolution wherein judges are even suspended for a single day while they will not favour the restoration of judges who have been controversial and involved in politics.

PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Husain said this while talking to media at his residence here on Monday.

In a handout, he said the judicial crisis would be resolved with the consultation of sitting judges as the issue was not constitutional or legal.

Mr Shujaat said the issue was raised by the lawyers, but now the reins were in the hands of politics.

The ruling alliance, he said, got votes on the promise of lowering the prices of flour, petroleum products, electricity and other daily use items, but he failed to understand who was stopping them from doing so.

He said they also obtained votes on issues of Dr Qadeer Khan and Lal Mosque, but Nawaz Sharif was only talking about judges and that, too, for political gains.
