ISLAMABAD (APP) – On Sunday, President Dr. Arif Alvi stated that he did not sign the Pakistan Army Amendment Bill 2023 or the Official Secrets Amendment Bill 2023 because he did not agree with these laws.
The president claimed on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, that he instructed his staff to return the bills unsigned within the allotted period in order to render them ineffectual.
“I repeatedly asked them whether they had been returned and was given the assurance that they had. The president said, “However, I learned today that my staff subverted my will and command.
“As Allah knows all, He will forgive IA,” he continued in his message. However, I beg for pardon from those who may be affected.
The Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which aims to punish people with a maximum five-year jail sentence for exposing sensitive information about national security or the armed services, was passed by the National Assembly on July 31.
Separately, the Official Secrets Act received approval from the Lower House just a few days before the National Assembly was dissolved on August 7.
