Asma Jahangir conference on the Role of Judiciary in Protecting of Human rights and strengthening Democracy held at Lahore was a gimmick of its organizers to malign the national institutions.
The office-bearers of Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society Mandi Bahauddin said this in a meeting held the other day to express resentment against the organizers of the Conference and the speakers who in their tirades bad-mouthed the army chief without any justification.
