محرک کا نام:  رانا ثناء اللہ خاں، وزیر قانون

 

"صوبائی اسمبلی پنجاب کا یہ ایوان ممتاز قانون دان عاصمہ جہانگیر کے انتقال پر گہرے رنج و غم کا اظہار کرتا ہے اور ان کے غمزدہ خاندان سے دلی تعزیت کرتا ہے۔

 

مرحومہ نہایت نڈر اور جرات مند وکیل رہنما ہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ فعال سماجی کارکن اور انسانی حقوق کی علمبردار بھی تھیں۔ مرحومہ کو سپریم کورٹ بار ایسوسی ایشن کی صدر ہونے کا اعزاز بھی حاصل ہے۔ ان کی زندگی دستور کی بالادستی، قانون کی پاسداری، اصولوں کی حکمرانی اور جمہوری اقدار کی سربلندی کے لئے جدوجہد میں گزری، جس پر حکومت پاکستان نے انہیں ہلال امتیاز بھی عطا کیا تھا۔ ان کی خدمات کو نہ صرف پاکستان بلکہ بین الاقوامی سطح پر بھی قدر کی نگاہ سے دیکھا جاتا تھا۔

یہ ایوان ان کے درجات کی بلندی کے لئے دُعاگو ہے۔"
