The Prime Minister said it is the duty of the government to formulate a policy while the provinces have to work on its implementation. “The government has very good relations with the judiciary and that the former respects the decisions of the latter … the Parliament is duty-bound to honor these judgments,” he remarked. He said the detailed verdict of the Supreme Court is awaited and the judiciary has no complaints whatsoever against the government.
