QUETTA: Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Thursday said no extra-Constitutional act will be acceptable and now there will only be the supremacy of law and Constitution in the country.
Addressing a gathering at dinner reception hosted in his honour by the Balochistan High Court here, the Chief Justice said nothing but rule of law is the solution for Pakistan’s problems.
Expressing concern on the overall law and order situation in the country, the Chief Justice said the country was presently facing worst kind of lawlessness, bloodshed, kidnapping for ransom and disregard for the supremacy of the Constitution.
“Is there any place of the country where rights of the people are being protected?” he asked.
He said the judiciary will be the first to oppose if any step is taken against this country’s people, Parliament or the judiciary in future.
“I heard a TV anchor saying a lot of rumours were circulating in Islamabad at present, but I reiterate that now there will only be the supremacy of the law and Constitution in the country,” he said
