Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that the rule of law and constitution is the top priority of government and opposition parties should support the government on judicial reforms. Lawyers have a significant role in delivering justice.
He said that the steps government is taking to reform the institutions are unprecedented in the past. Strong and prosperous Pakistan is the foremost goal of our government.
He stated this while addressing the oath-taking ceremony of Sangla Hill Bar Association officials at Governor House Lahore on Wednesday and talking to media persons. On this occasion President Sangla Hill Bar Association Arfat Zulfiqar, Vice President Tariq Mahmood Pannu, Secretary Amer Hussain Kalon, Senior Member Mian Hamd Raza and others were present.
Addressing the gathering of lawyers, Chaudhry Sarwar said that there is no doubt that societies which do not have justice never prosper. He further said that the current government has been pursuing a policy of establishing the rule of law in the country from the day one and we want to ensure transparency and merit by completely removing political interference from the institutions so that Pakistan can move forward.
The Governor Punjab said that the government is working for judicial reforms and we want to take the opposition parties along in this matter but unfortunately the opposition parties are not cooperating with the government in this regard.
We once again want to ask the opposition parties to go beyond political and personal interests and support the government in legislation for the interests of the country and the nation so that we can make Pakistan like envisioned by Quaid and Iqbal, he added.
Chaudhry Sarwar said that when PTI came to power, it was said that, Pakistan will be bankrupt economically but the government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan had decided to strengthen the country economically despite the worst crisis induced due to Corona. He further said that today, international organizations also appreciate the steps taken by the Pakistani government in the economic sector.
