Imran Khan PPP voices concern over Imran Khan govt's act of bypassing parliament in formulation of Pakistan’s first National Security Policy
Islamabad/IBNS: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has expressed concern over the act of Prime Minister Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government of bypassing parliament in the formulation of the country’s first National Security Policy.
PPP Senator Raza Rabbani said in a statement on Tuesday as quoted by The Dawn that the National Security Policy, which had been first approved by the National Security Committee (NSC) on Monday and the next day by the federal cabinet, was denied any input from parliament.
He recalled that the government had promised to share the details of its agreement with the-then banned Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) at an appropriate time, but this never happened.
Similarly, he said, the government had pledged to place the security policy before parliament, but it was not taken into confidence on this most crucial national issue.
