Asma Jahangir has been elected as the first female president of the Supreme Court bar Association. Many congratulations to her.
Her election has also brought forward an interesting point: that the lawyers community is no more following the bigwigs only, it is following and supporting the persons that stand for human rights and that represent the persecuted segments of the society – in this case the women.
I hope she plays a much better role for the judicial system and does not side with any party. Because she has only one year at this post, she better move fast and move right.
