Azam Tarar urges opposition to actively participate in legislative process
ISLAMABAD, Jun 22 (APP):Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar on Monday urged opposition lawmakers to actively participate in parliamentary committees and the legislative process instead of merely criticizing the government.
Speaking in the National Assembly, he said representatives of the Ministry of Law and Justice had repeatedly requested members to attend meetings, but some lawmakers had chosen not to participate.
Tarar also informed the House that the government had introduced a comprehensive package of around 100 amendments to criminal laws, which is currently under consideration by the relevant standing committee.
He urged lawmakers to engage in committee deliberations and contribute to legislative reforms.
He said the government was still awaiting feedback from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on the proposed amendments, which he termed non-political in nature.
He stressed that strengthening the rule of law requires practical participation in legislative work rather than speeches alone.
Referring to judicial matters, the minister said court proceedings and convictions are decided by the judiciary and not by the government, adding that anyone with objections to convictions could seek relief through the appellate process.
