Karachi: Sindh Governor Nihal Hashmi has said he is not receiving salary .
" I am not receiving salary. My wife is doctor and my family members are earning their livelihood from their own sources, he said this while addressing lawyers here.
He said Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a lawyer of the Muslims of sub continent.
Maker of 1973 Constitution drafter Zulfikar Ali Bhutto practiced law, and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who conducted nuclear test is also a lawyer.
Hashmis said he has been coming in these corridors since 40 years and will continue to come in high court in future as well.
There is bond of respect between the lawyers and they will represent lawyers community before Sindh and federal government.
He stressed discipline will have to be maintained because lawyers community is facing dire challenges at present. It is endeavor of government to administer justice to the people as soon as possible. Mini lock down measures are being taken for the sake of austerity.
He held unrest is there in countries beyond Pakistan while certain forces want to create law and order situation in the country.
He added that Israel has been involved in terrorism for half a century, with some groups term it their 'Fatherland.'
Hashmi stated that law enforcement agencies in Pakistan succeed in arresting 93% offenders.
He stressed that tackling hoarding is a collective responsibility and not solely the job of the army or law enforcement.
He said the writer and poets cannot give vent to their expression the way a lawyer expresses his stance.
He urged lawyers to uphold the dignity of their profession because our dignity is in our hands. Lawyers of Pakistan are heirs to Q uaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
India can try to go for false flag operation, therefore the repetition of mistakes of the past be avoided.
Unnecessary relief be not sought from the courts and matters be advanced as per legal requirements.
He underlined a society based on violence cannot sustain and we will have to establish a peaceful and prosperous society.
Governor Sindh said he will remain in contact with the lawyers and doors of governor house remain open to all.
