Quaid-i-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah did a great favor to this nation that he fought a great and passionate struggle to give an independent country to the Muslims of the subcontinent, who were deprived of freedom. As a result of the long struggle, Pakistan came into existence.
Strengthening the justice system in Pakistan was the first priority of the Governor-General of the country, Quaid-e-Azam, but after the establishment of the country, Quaid lived only a year and passed away.

Legislation is not the name of making rules and regulations and applying them to the people at will, but it is a moment of thought for the members who are elected by the votes of the people and sit in the assemblies to think about the laborer whose labor is accumulated. Earnings of money and blood sweat are subject to taxes.
There is a need to empower the accountability institutions and the officers who sit on the benches of justice and free them from all kinds of political pressure. The system of accountability should be so strong that no landlord or vassal could dare to violate human rights.
