Speaking to the media here on Monday, the minister emphasised that those who set government properties and police vehicles on the fire should not expect leniency. \u201cWhen you attack installations or burn police vehicles, you won\u2019t be welcomed with flowers,\u201d he said. \u201cThose involved in riots or attacks on military installations will be held accountable according to the law, and we will fully respect the court\u2019s decisions,\u201d he stated, adding that the courts are functioning independently and are regularly hearing cases. He highlighted the contrast in the treatment of political figures, noting that former prime ministers once had to walk to court without VIP protocols, whereas today some individuals enjoy special access. \u201cIn fact, nowadays it\u2019s almost VIP treatment \u2014 doors open, cars come with flags, and people attend bar functions,\u201d he added. Tarar said that the 26th Constitutional Amendment was part of structural reforms aimed at improving the system. He expressed the view that no further amendments are required at this stage but did not rule out the possibility of future amendments if necessary. \u201cNo one has knowledge of the unseen. If the need arises, all coalition parties and Parliament will come together to decide the way forward,\u201d he added. He also acknowledged the positive impact of establishing a constitutional bench, which has helped reduce the burden of daily cases. Furthermore, he voiced support for judicial infrastructure reforms, advocating for all courts in Lahore to be housed in a single complex, similar to the Karachi model.\u00a0 \u201cThis would benefit both the bar and the judiciary in terms of scheduling, administration, and accessibility,\u201d he said. He acknowledged the efforts of Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum in this regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- LAHORE: Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar has stated that individuals involved in attacking state installations or damaging public property will not be garlanded with flowers and must face legal consequences.
