ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan’s opposition grappled for a united response on Tuesday to President Pervez Musharraf’s imposition of emergency rule, leaving lawyers to protest alone for a second day and bear the brunt of a police crackdown.
Ousted chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, though being held incommunicado at his residence, managed to get out a message by mobile phone to the lawyers’ movement that has been leading the public protests.
“The constitution has been ripped to shreds,” Chaudhry said.
