Anti-terrorism law

As militancy continues to plague the tribal belts and parts of KP, the provincial government has failed to prosecute thousands of terror suspects.

In the absence of an anti-terror law, the trial courts have no option but to free the people arrested on charges of terrorism, which is really sad. The federal government has so far not been able to enact a law for the trial of terror suspects. It had introduced a bill in the parliament after the expiry of a presidential ordinance about five months ago which is still pending before a standing committee of the national assembly. Lets hope they pay attention to this bill so that we can charge these suspects.
