Summary CJP Mian Saqib Nisar addressed a public gathering in Lahore
LAHORE (Dunya News) - The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday emphasised on the significance of education in development and prosperity of the country during his address to a public gathering in Lahore.
“I often wonder, how nations evolve and prosper, and remarked that serving humanity is the best cause. No nation can prosper without education,” he said, adding that he has been disappointed over severe negligence on education sector in Pakistan.
What further irked him was the fact that feudal lords have occupied several government-run schools in Sindh where they have locked up herds of stray cattle and cows.
“Even, there are many schools with no availability of potable water and teachers,” he said terming it “an unfortunate situation”.
Regarding education in Balochistan, he said that in rural areas of the province there were no education institutions at all.
“Life is nothing if people’s fundamental rights and liberty were not secured,” he added, and in this regard courts "have to play a critical role."
He further highlighted importance of sincere leadership, and said that it was required for the country to excel.
