Yes there exists a rift between two pillars of state.
And both parties have contributed to widen this gulf as both have not remained in their limits.
As well as SCBA elections are concerned, Aasma cant be said to a nominee of ppp or her victory is the victory of ppp regime.
Her cherished past bears witnessed to the fact that she has always remained sticked to her cause of justice and equality in society.
Last year SCBA president slot went to professional group,s Qazi Anwar ,a strong group lead by Hamid Khan a renowned Lawyer, representing right wing.
Qazi Anwar,s tenure saw a great rift between two pillars of state and SCBA president openly supported Judiciary camp irrespective of its the fact whether it was right or wrong.......
SCBA had completely got politicized and nothing was done except for firy political slogans.
Aasma climbed in the race of SCBA presidency on her strong belief in rule of law and her commitment withe her profession. She openly fought on the manifesto of working for betterment of lawyer community and to lessen the politicization in Bar and to help to remove rift between judiciary and executive.
Yes She was being supported by PPP lawyer wing. But besides this PML(N) lawyer wing was also on her backing. Moreover celebrated leaders of judicial movement Munir A. Malik, Ali Ahm,ad Kurd and Justice Rtd Tariq Mehmood , all three ex president SCBA were supporting Aasma. Even she had silent support of Aitzaz Ahsan.
So she defeated Hamid khan group's Ahmad owais , a person cant be compared with Aasma a champion of human rights and democracy known internationally an iconoclast.
A sever character assassination campaign was launched against her even then she won the election.
One hopes , she being the first ever female president of SCBA, would purge the bar from politicization and would work for the prestige of Lawyer community as well as rule of law.
