Gulraiz Khan, Senior Sub-editor at The Express Tribune, says the move will help defuse tensions between the federal government and the Supreme Court.
He says representation by Babar Awan led to frequent stand-offs between the two institutions. But for those who are expecting fireworks thinking that Ahsan has to appear before Chief Justice Iftekhar Chaudry, will be disappointed because the seven member bench does not include him.

@ufaquarian: He is an open minded, unbiased person and a lawyer by profession. So now he can be seen with any client who need his counsel which can not be said about a politician who can only support his leaders or party policy. Actually being contacted by PM in such time he gained more respect from all sides.
I dont know whats happening with AA, he had rightfully separated from day to day PPP but now when its in hot waters he is coming into light with both Zardari and Gilani.........I am losing respect for him :(
I had a great respect for AA but his current stance and certain actions making me leery of him......I hope he is not digging a hole for himself.
Wrong step by Sir Aitzaz Ahsan.
