Islamabad : (October-24-2024) Business leader and former President of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), Dr Shahid Rasheed Butt, said on Thursday that the twenty-sixth constitutional amendment would make the judicial system more active, its global ranking will improve, the common man would get relief, and the speed of economic development will increase.
He said that rapid economic development will benefit the masses and the government and the rate of unemployment will fall.
He added that the public and private sectors worldwide always try to improve their systems, and if this has happened in Pakistan, it is not something to be concerned about.
Shahid Rasheed Butt said in a statement issued here today that the development of the judicial system is a good move. Still, some elements are busy making it controversial, which is regrettable.
The business leader that the common man does not get justice in Pakistan, and even if someone does, there is a lot of delay, which damages the reputation of the judicial system.
He added that, apart from this, domestic and foreign investors were also apprehensive about the state of the judicial system, which caused investment in Pakistan to remain negligible while investors preferred other countries.
Shahid Rasheed Butt said that Pakistanis are investing heavily in Dubai, Malaysia and Africa instead of their own country because there is no hope if their capital is lost.
Under these circumstances, not changing the justice system was tantamount to economic suicide. He said the need to improve matters was felt due to the unnecessary use of suo moto notices, politics, and boundary transgressions.
He said that all the pillars of the state must have balanced powers because if an institution’s powers are overstretched, things tend to deteriorate rather than improve.
He observed that all parties except one political party worked tirelessly in this regard because the state’s interest was considered paramount.
He said that the country is currently facing many problems, and all institutions and politicians should try to reduce them instead of increasing them.
