HONG KONG, June 6 (AFP): The lawyer for Pakistan's top judge, ousted by President Pervez Musharraf, on Wednesday urged the US and Britain to put pressure on the military ruler to ensure "free and fair" polls in the country.
Retired judge Rasheed Razvi, one of four lawyers for suspended chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, said both administrations should break their silence on the unrest in Pakistan in the wake of Chaudhry's removal from office.
"The United Kingdom and the US are absolutely silent on this issue." Razvi said.
