ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 10 (AP) Pakistani lawyers on Thursday fiercely denounced the leader of the main ruling party for delaying the restoration of judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf. About 150 lawyers and political activists gathered outside the Supreme Court building in Islamabad, chanted Go, Zardari, go! and demanded that Zardari bring the judges back immediately. Do not play with lawyers' emotions ... do not test our patience, said Hamid Khan, a key figure in the lawyers' movement, from atop a truck parked outside the gleaming white building. In Lahore on Thursday, where a similar protest was held, lawyers' movement leader Aitzaz Ahsan said plans were in hand to have lawyers stage two-hour sit-ins once a week in their respective areas to keep up the pressure on the government.
