HYDERABAD, March 8 Sindh Assembly's Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza has said that the lawyers' long march will prove to be an exercise in futility because 56 of the 60 deposed judges have already been reinstated.

Talking to journalists after attending a Qirat and Naat competition at the Institute of Modern Sciences and Arts, she said that the apex court had given decision against the Sharif brothers and the government had nothing to do with it.

Only the party, which was able to prove its majority would form government in the Punjab, she said and denied there was no crisis in the Punjab.

She claimed that the PPP government was implementing the 36-point agreement the PPP had signed with PML-N. People were politically conscious and they had voted only those who could solve their problems, she said.
