Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that only unity of legislative, judiciary, executive and media can bring the country out of a dirty whirlpool of national solidarity risks and weaken the grip of the country’s enemies in pursuing their evil designs actively in and outside Pakistan.
He was addressing a gathering of lawyers on the occasion of passport office’s inauguration on the premises of the Lahore High Court bar Association (LHCBA) that has been set up to facilitate the lawyers community. He promised to the lawyers that NADRA office will also be set up at the LHCBA office. He said lawyers will be provided urgent passport on regular fee.
The interior minister announced that soon arms license of prohibited caliber/bore will also be issued to the lawyers. The president of LHCBA had requested the interior minister that lawyers should be provided urgent passports on regular fee and the minister accepted it saying that fee will be regular for lawyers but service would be on an urgent basis.
Malik said he is with a community today which saw the dream of Pakistan and then established it. The lawyers he said have been fighting for rule of law for many years. He quoted the services of Allama Iqbal, Quaid –e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, ZA Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto for the country, terming them unforgettable. He also applauded the lawyers for their struggle for independence of judiciary and supremacy of the constitution.
He said President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani believe in freedom of media and he assured that the government is not hatching any plan for curbing freedom of media as is appearing in the news. He said free media is possible only in a country which has a democratic system in place.
He said uninterrupted democracy and unity of all pillars of the state is the first guarantee towards national solidarity and progress of the country which is being crippled by fight against terrorism and poverty. Malik said that it is high time to set aside personal interests for the betterment of the country.
Please issue as many as you can. Hopefully one would be issued to the one who can put an end to rehman malik. Please, please, please.
