Sharif had led thousands of protestors through the streets of Lahore on Sunday in a massive show of strength, adding to the isolation of the Pakistan People's Party and its co-chairman, President Asif Ali Zardari . Gilani invited the PML-N to work with all other political forces for the implementation of the 'Charter of Democracy', a document signed by the PML-N and PPP in 2006, to strengthen democracy in the country.
Chaudhry will return to the post of Chief Justice over 16 months after he was sacked by Musharraf for not endorsing the emergency.
Chaudhry was appointed Chief Justice by Musharraf in May 2005. The independent-minded Chief Justice irked Musharraf after he initiated suo moto action against several of the former military regime's actions.
Gilani and Zardari discussed the prevailing political situation and agreed on restoring the deposed judges, during a meeting that lasted for over two hours late on Sunday night.
