He said the culprits of the Sialkot tragedy would be punished as per law and a three-member committee of public prosecutors was constantly monitoring the challan to keep the trial free from any legal flaw.
Raja highlighted that reforms were being worked out to prevent incidents like the escape of prisoners from court lockups.
He said in addition to his efforts, Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had always given full support in solving the problems of journalists.
While responding to questions by the media persons, Raja said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz won its seat in Khanewal by-election, however, where they win, the vote gets respect and where they lose, they make blame rigging.
He said all political decisions of PTI were taken by mutual consultation at the party level.
