"We think, all sections of Article 58Ga in the constitution are clear regarding appointment of the chief adviser to the caretaker government and the honourable president has followed that properly," the lawyers said in a joint statement.

They also said that some lawyers are propagating the president's taking over as the chief adviser to neutral caretaker government as anti-constitutional.

They said being the conscious citizens of the country they think that such propaganda about provisions in the constitution is creating confusions among people and raising unnecessary questions about the president's additional duties as the chief adviser to the caretaker government in their mind.

The lawyers urged all to restrain themselves from giving confusing explanation of the constitution and to extend all-out cooperation to the president as the chief adviser to the caretaker government for holding free and peaceful general elections.
