He reassured the public that justice would prevail. Emphasizing a commitment to fairness and ensuring that even those accused of wrongdoing receive due process. Tarar noted that the perpetrator involved in the lawyer’s killing has already been apprehended, signaling swift action by law enforcement.
In further remarks, Tarar advocated for closer collaboration between the legal fraternity and the judiciary. Urging the judiciary to treat lawyers respectfully and not to label them as terrorists or contributors to corruption unjustly. He was absolutely against the idea of attaching lawyers with acts of terrorism, which would imply that, according to him. This discredits the entire justice system. He promised to protect lawyers’ reputations and insisted on a fair legal process for everyone.
