Karachi, Caretaker Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, and Parliamentary Affairs, Murtaza Solangi, has highlighted Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law. In a recent interview with a private TV channel, Solangi discussed the impact of Jinnah’s legal and political legacy on contemporary governance and politics in Pakistan.

He affirmed the Commission’s authority and ability to address any irregularities.
Addressing internal communication dynamics within the government, particularly between the Prime Minister’s Office and the Establishment Secretary, Solangi described it as a standard operational procedure. In his closing remarks, he expressed confidence in national institutions and urged a focus on resolving key national issues.
Solangi quoted the Constitution of Pakistan, emphasizing that elected representatives are responsible for leading the country. He called for urgent attention to national priorities and stressed the collective responsibility of citizens in contributing to the nation’s development and prosperity.
