"Now every child must rise and take to the streets of Pakistan and get all the deposed judges, who refused to take oath (during last year's emergency), restored with honour and dignity," Sharif said.

He also came down heavily on the judges who endorsed the emergency and four-star generals, saying that even the judiciary was ashamed of the justices who validated the "immoral, illegal and unconstitutional action" of Musharraf.

Sharif told Geo News he did not recognise the judges sworn-in during the emergency because those who were deposed were the real judges.

When asked why had he announced he would accept the judges who took an oath of allegiance to Musharraf, Sharif said that he had swallowed the bitter pill half-heartedly and asserted he would stick to his current stance of not accepting such judges at any cost.

On his support to the proposed movement by the legal fraternity in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province where the PML-N is in power, Sharif said he wanted the entire Punjab government to be part of this campaign. He said he would also try and convince PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari to join him.
