LAHORE: Chief Justice Pakistan (CJP) Tassaduq Hussain Jillani said on Saturday that the real threat to democracy and rule of law in the country stems from intolerance.
Addressing a ceremony in honour of Justice Umar Atta Bandial being elevated to the Supreme Court, the CJP said Pakistan lacks a culture of tolerance.
Chief Justice Jillani added that independence of the judiciary could not only be achieved through what was written in the constitution and it was essential to restore the trust of people in the justice system.
According to the CJP it is required that the authority of law and supremacy of constitution be established in the country.
