Governor calls for ensuring ‘easy justice system’

Yasinzai says key to sustainable development lies in delivering speedy justice

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.”



On August 8, 2016, terrorists attacked the Civil Hospital Quetta with suicide bombing and shooting in which up to 75 people, mostly lawyers, were killed and more than 130 others were injured.

Casualties were mainly of lawyers, who gathered at the hospital where the body of Bilal Anwar Kasi, president of Balochistan Bar Association, was brought after he was shot by unidentified gunmen.

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.”

The governor distributed medals and degrees among the graduating students.
