Prime Minister Imran Khan has reiterated government's resolve to establish rule of law in the country.

Chairing a meeting on reforms in Criminal Justice System of the country in Islamabad today [Wednesday], he said it is for the first time that government is bringing reforms in criminal justice system.

He said implementation of reforms will help to fulfill government's manifesto of rule of law.

The meeting was also informed that amendments in Pakistan Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code are also part of these reforms.
