LAHORE: I would like to congratulate Asma Jahangir for her historic victory in the Supreme Court Bar election. She is a renowned human rights activist and lawyer, and the bar association will be all the better for having elected her. This year’s election was a particularly tough one. Ms Jahangir was also targeted by a vicious campaign launched against her candidature by regressive forces but came out the winner despite it. Her victory will hopefully inspire other female lawyers as well
