LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday said it was imperative for a progressive country to have a honest leadership and quality education, ARY News reported.
Speaking at a gathering in Lahore, the CJP remarked that an honest leader takes the country forward and adds to development of the nation.
Justice Nisar expressed grave concern over the lack of education among children in Pakistan. “I was astonished to discover a few schools where landlords bread their cattle.”
He stated that no work was supreme than serving the humanity. “Our first priority should be education. I am extremely displeased with literacy rate not up to par in the country.”
The chief justice pointed out that the education sector was the most neglected. “ I have personally witnessed this reality after visiting several areas of the country,” adding that another important aspect of the nation’s development was “dispensation of justice.”
He asserted that a society couldn’t sustain a balance if the judiciary failed to provide justice to the masses.“We do not have an institution for dispensation of justice as it should have been in an Islamic country.”
The law provided to us by the British rulers doesn’t fit our society nor religion.
