Summary Says collective efforts could pave the way for meaningful reforms in the country's administrative framework
NAROWAL (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal has stressed the need for comprehensive reforms in the country's administrative structure, saying the existing system must evolve in line with changing public needs and prevailing circumstances.
Addressing a gathering at the District Bar Association in Narowal, his hometown, the minister said retaining an administrative system designed five decades ago was no longer appropriate, as the country's population, resources and global environment had undergone significant changes.
He emphasised that administrative reforms were a continuous process and should not be halted under any circumstances. He also called on political leaders to engage in dialogue and develop consensus on key national issues, saying collective efforts could pave the way for meaningful reforms in the country's administrative framework.
Ahsan Iqbal reaffirmed the government's commitment to the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, describing the rule of law as a fundamental guarantee of national development.
Highlighting the role of the legal community, he said lawyers were a strong pillar of democracy and played a vital role in ensuring the provision of justice to the public.
He added that stronger cooperation between the bar and the bench would further improve and strengthen the country's justice system.
