ISLAMABAD: Official Secrets (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill, 2023 gazette notifications of becoming law have been released, hours after President Arif Alvi rejected singing two crucial laws.

The gazette notices, copies of which are accessible with ARY News, were dated August 18 (Friday), according to specifics.

According to the announcement, the acts were “deemed to have been assented by President Dr. Arif Alvi” and had been sent on by Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament).

The legislation were dated August 18, 2023, and they were published as laws in Pakistan’s Gazette.

The Pakistan Army Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and Official Secrets (Amendment) Bill, 2023, were two bills the president refused to sign earlier in the day because he “disagreed with these laws.”

“As God is my witness,” Alvi said in a post on the social networking site X, “I did not sign the Official Secrets Amendment Bill, 2023 and the Pakistan Army Amendment Bill, 2023 because I disagreed with these laws.”

The president said that in order to render the bills “ineffective,” he instructed his staff to return them unsigned within the allotted period.

During the coalition government’s term in office, both legislation were approved by the parliament and forwarded to President Alvi for approval.
