LAHORE: Punjab Governor Muhammad Rafique Rajwana on Monday stressed the need for collective efforts for the progress and prosperity of the country.
He expressed these views while talking to a 50-member delegation of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Lawyers Forum of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) headed by Daulat Khan, who called on him here at the Governor House.
The Punjab governor said that lawyers’ community had always played an eminent role for the supremacy of law, helping in the dispensation of justice, stabilising democratic institutions and promoting the democratic values. Lawyers are such a community having a distinctive respect in every nook and corner of Pakistan, he added.
Rafique Rajwana also called for giving an end to ‘strike culture’, adding that lawyers would have to fulfil their professional responsibilities by helping to redress the grievances of the litigants. Having associated with the legal profession, he said that he was well aware of the problems faced by the lawyers’ fraternity, asserting that government was putting every effort in place to not only resolve their issues but also enhance their professional capabilities.
On this occasion, KP lawyers invited the governor to visit District Mardan Bar, which the latter accepted.
