PPP proposes 13 amendments in PPO

Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Senior leader Raza Rabbani has said that his party has proposed 13 amendments in the much-criticised Pakistan Protection Ordinance (PPO).

Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Senator Rabbani said under the proposed amendments, a judicial commission will be set up to probe any incident. The detainees will be produced before courts within 24 hours.

The PPP leader said human rights have been given due consideration in the new draft and forces’ power to open firing has also been curtailed.

He made it clear that the opposition party would not accept the PPO in its current state.
