LAHORE: Senior Lawyer and PPP Leader Aitezaz Ahsan Wednesday said that there is nothing wrong in bar associations getting funds from the government.

Speaking to media outside the Lahore High Court, Ahsan said chances of a clash between the executive and the judiciary still exist.

He also reiterated that it is the responsibility of the government to implement orders issued by the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile General Secretary of the Supreme Court Bar Association Zulqarnain Haider, addressing the media in Lahore, condemned the government's funding campaign, saying lawyers' loyalty cannot be bought.

He should talk about judiciary or executive in fact he want to keep him out side the clash ring,it is not nice policy not acceptable behave or action, should forward and solve matter created between judiciary and executive . I know personally he can settled because he is front line leader of PPP and the chief justice consider his opinion with high consideration. WE should forget past and see future,because the days are coming with tremendous changes and we have to face them.
