| Ineffective laws helping terrorists: PM | |
| 2011-01-01 | |
He was addressing the National Assembly today. The prime minister pointed out that most bully boyz walked away due to lack of adequate laws to deal with the menace. The PM said that foreign media was trying to taint the image of Pak institutions by giving false news. Taking the National Assembly into confidence on the news items reported by foreign media about security agencies of the country, he said Pak security agencies have no need to violate human rights. ... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... "If our agencies have to violate human rights then they would have asked us in meetings to make the anti bully boyz law ineffective," he asserted. He said Anti Terrorist Act needed to be improved because thousands of bully boyz who were apprehended by the law enforcement agencies were bailed out from the courts and again indulged in terrorist activities. "I will not blame the judiciary but we have to improve the Anti Terrorist Act," he said adding that bully boyz have killed thousands of innocent people and personnel of security agencies. He called for making the anti terrorist law more effective to ensure zero tolerance for anti- state elements. He said foreign media wants to defame Pak institutions by giving an impression that Pak agencies are violating human rights. Gilani said Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance but the foreign media tried to portray wrong image of the religion and Pakistain as well. Referring to heated arguments between two political parties of the country, he said: "We have to show political maturity and avoid saying anything about politicianship. The politicianship is very respectable". He said media also have a major responsibility in this regard and it should report facts so that the facts may not be distorted. | |
