| [DAWN] Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Chief Justice of Pakistain Mian Saqib Nisar held a rare one-on-one meeting at the Supreme Court on Tuesday evening, DawnNewsTV reported. According to a statement issued by the apex court, the prime minister vowed to provide all possible assistance in "revamping the judicial system of Pakistain as visualised by the chief justice". The prime minister was welcomed by the chief justice at the doorstep of the apex court upon his arrival for the meeting, which lasted about two hours. Abbasi reportedly reached the court without his usual prime ministerial protocol and the meeting was held in the chamber of the chief justice. "The government will furnish all resources to the judiciary in order to enable it to provide speedy and inexpensive justice, in addition to facilitating easy access of justice to the people," Abbasi was quoted as saying. He pledged full support for the public interest litigation initiatives undertaken by the chief justice. "All steps will be taken to materialise the vision of the chief justice with respect to free education, public health, improvements in government hospitals and provision of quality and affordable health services, provision of clean drinking water, better sanitation and protection of environment etc," Abbasi added. |
