Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and senior central leader and former Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi have said that the government should have taken Ulema of all schools of thought into confidence prior to the passage of the Women Protection Bill by the Punjab Assembly.
They said this while talking to newly-elected Secretary of Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) Anas Ghazi and his father former Justice Nazir Ahmad Ghazi who called on them here on Sunday. Moonis Elahi and Nadir Duggal advocate were also present.
They said the lawyers' community should play its full and positive role in provision of quick and cheap justice to the citizens because the lawyers enjoy pivotal role in this regard. Keeping this in view we had established Prosecution Service during our tenure, proper legislation was done for Public Defenders Service and also Consumer Courts were established through which thousands of consumers had been benefiting till now.
Their government had provided free medical treatment facility to the lawyers. Lahore High Court Bar hall and offices of Advocate General were constructed and established housing colonies for lawyers, they recalled.
Expressing gratitude to PML-Q leaders for support in the election, Anas Ghazi said the people still remembered relief works in the courts done during their tenure.
He termed the tenure of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi for effective and result-oriented measures for provision of quick justice as the best and said that institutions set up for provision of justice, supremacy of judiciary and stability of judicial structure have become victim of vindictiveness of the present govt and these institutions, which were benefiting everyone, are now declining and the people are being punished for this.
