Islamabad: Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Sunday dispelled concerns about any “person-specific” legislation, saying the government is committed to deliver speedy justice for the people of Pakistan.

While talking to media in Islamabad, Tarar stated, "Reforms are overdue to ensure that the people of Pakistan have access to swift justice," 

In response to a query, he maintained that the government would secure the necessary numbers in both Houses for the new legislation. "It is incorrect to believe that there is any person-specific legislation. Our focus is solely on the greater good of the masses," he reiterated.

Tarar stated that all political parties are united in their goal to provide speedy justice at the doorstep of the people. He also mentioned that a special committee, consisting of allied parties, is currently in session.

"Cabinet would convene shortly to discuss the matter," he maintained while giving the importance to these reforms.

Speaking to journalists, the minister assured that any proposed legislation would be in the collective interest of the nation.

He surther said that the judiciary has faced delays in resolving cases for many decades, making it imperative to implement measures for quicker justice.

Tarar highlighted that all coalition parties are represented on the special committee formed to address this issue. He also mentioned that Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar had discussed the Charter of Democracy as a framework for judicial reforms.

“Any amendment on matters of national concern should benefit the entire Pakistani nation,” he stated. He pointed out that legal gaps have often led to issues such as unissued cause lists, unserved notices, and delayed orders.
