Pakistan coalition reaffirms pact on sacked judges

Pakistan's ruling coalition renewed their pledge to restore the judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf who could reopen legal challenges to his rule. The reaffirmation came at a meeting among Asif Ali Zardari, the Co-Chairman of PPP, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and other coalition leaders. The meeting was held against the backdrop of reports that strains have appeared in the two-week-old coalition over the reinstatement of the judges.
