Decision On Judicial Reform Bill Remains Uncertain, Says President Arif Alwi

• Undecided: Official response on judicial reform bill decision.
• In developed democracies, seeking consensus is key to positive crisis response.

 During an interview with a private news channel, President Dr. Arif Alvi expressed his thoughts on the Judicial Reforms Bill, stating that he has yet to have the opportunity to review the bill and it is premature to comment on his decision about it.

The President said that in developed democracies, seeking consensus is essential to enacting reforms and playing a positive role in times of crisis. He also emphasized the importance of refraining from using inappropriate language, even under frustration or pressure. 

The President added that pressure on institutions could create cracks, which can be seen in all institutions.
