QUETTA: Balochistan Governor Amanullah Yasinzai has called on the lawyers’ community and concerned institutions to play their due role in dispensation of speedy justice, saying easy justice system is key to sustainable development for any society.

“Without providing easy justice to the suppressed people of society, we cannot become a developed and educated country,” said the governor while addressing the 12th Convocation of Law College Quetta on Friday.

Paying homage to the martyred lawyers of the August 8 carnage, the governor said, “Martyrdom of former principals of Law College, Quetta Barrister Adnan Kasi and Barrister Amanullah Achakzai has created a vacuum in the province’s legal fraternity. The honourable judges and the lawyers’ community have shown colossal patience and courage after the tragic incident at the civil hospital.”

Expressing optimism over the successful convocation, Yasinzai said, “The shining eyes of today’s graduates guarantee a brighter future of Balochistan and Pakistan.

“In practical life, all the graduates will have to play their due role in providing easy and speedy justice to the ordinary people of our province because you will lead the province’s law fraternity in the future.”
