The government has amended the Army Act to extend the tenure of the army chief, a decision deemed wise for enhancing national security and regional stability.
This extension has allowed the service chiefs adequate time to effectively implement policies and assess the outcomes of past strategies, crucial amid the deteriorating security situation in the region.
With a three-year tenure often proving too short for effective policy advancement, particularly given the pressing challenges Pakistan faces, this change is seen as essential for better management of both internal and external security concerns.
In parallel, the government's proposal to double the number of Supreme Court judges from 17 to 34 has also been praised. The existing shortage of judges has resulted in significant delays in the judicial process, impeding the delivery of justice. Increasing the number of judges will help eliminate barriers to justice and enable citizens to access timely legal remedies.
Together, these reforms mark a pivotal step towards strengthening the country’s stability, enhancing public welfare, and reinforcing the legal system. The anticipated positive changes in Pakistan’s security and judicial frameworks are expected to pave the way for the nation's overall development.
