Senator Faisal Vawda made a strong statement during his swearing-in ceremony in the upper house, emphasizing the need for respect and reform in the Senate. Vawda expressed gratitude to his supporters and called for rules to be established to prevent disrespectful behavior towards others.
He metaphorically highlighted the importance of changing the current system by stating, 'Unless this system is changed, and 6 represented as 9 and 9 as 6, Pakistan will not progress.' Vawda criticized the judiciary's global ranking and vowed to ensure that laws apply equally to all, including judges and generals.
Questioning past legal actions, Vawda raised concerns about the treatment of political figures like Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari. He pledged to address issues such as the Reko Diq case and prevent external interference in the country's affairs.
On his first day in the upper house, Vawda refrained from naming individuals engaging in dual roles but called for transparency in exposing such behavior. He concluded by asserting that a change in the system was essential for progress and justice in Pakistan.
