Stressing the role of police in ensuring safety and security of the public, he said, “It is therefore a bounden duty on the part of every public prosecutor to give due respect and treat police with utmost dignity.”
Jinnah also told law officers to provide proper seat to police personnel without discriminating on the post they hold when they visit them.
