PPP protects minorities, women rights, says Naveed Chaudhry

STAFF REPORT Monday, 10 Sep 2012 2:18 am | Comments

LAHORE - Media coordinator to the President, Naveed Chaudhry, said that the government honors rights of minorities and women.
Talking to reporters, he said "The National Assembly passed the National Commission for Human Rights 2011 amendment bill which provides for the establishment of a National Commission for Human Rights, reservation of four seats for minorities in the Senate and work on 'Minorities Protection Bill' to protect the Personal Laws of Minorities including legislation on Hindu, Sikh, Zoroastrian and Bahai Marriage Acts were among important initiatives of the government. The government has earmarked a quota of 5 percent for minorities in federal services and enhanced the grants for minority welfare projects by Rs 147 million. “
"Besides giving a significant role to women in key policy decisions, economic empowerment projects are part of the government's efforts to create income-generating activities for marginalised women. High representation of women parliamentarians who represent 17 percent of Upper House and 22.7 percent of Lower House reflects the PPP policy,” he said.
Opposttion Leader in Punjab Assembly, Raja Riaz, said the parliament has made significant inroads in enacting laws for the protection of women. He added that the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2010, Law for Protection of Women against Harassment at the Workplace Act 2010, Criminal Procedure Act and Pakistan Penal Code were amended to give teeth to the Harassment Act. He said that prevention of Domestic Violence against Women is a feather in the cap of PPP government.

I do trust all of the ideas you have offered in your post. They're really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for newbies. Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

of course like your website but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth on the other hand I’ll certainly come back again.

Raja says he is sorry

sadiq

Justice must be done for everybody in equal measure. Punishment must be for everybody. It is not reserved for the poor and uninfluential. RAJA can not dictate forgiveness, by saying that he is sorry. He has to face the music. There is more to come,

Kamran Faisal was killed, removed from the scene in Raja Rental case. The post mortem team, and subsequent medical board of Polyclinic, headed by dr kyani, have lied, and are hiding the truth about the body of Faisal. All it will take is 5 minutes of cross examination to expose their lies. Nut will that day arrive?

Conspiracy, says the PPP!

Aristocrat

I agreed with the post! There were conspiracies against anti taliban parties. There is a need of Taliban Friendly govt to give safe passage to Natto Forces. Let see what will be happening with current PMLN Govt. after 2014 :)

Imran Khan back on his feet

wow how tragic! First the election was forced, now someone is trying to kill Imran Khan! Fear tacit's. May the LORD GOD ALLAH be with Imran Khan and keep him safe from any more assault. Does any one see what is happening in Syria???

Altaf directs party workers to halt protests

Vaqar

I can tell what will happen in the so called "emergency meeting". A certain Don of the Mutahida Qatil Mafia will give a rambling speech, shouting, crying, singing and dancing. He will tell off his underlings, use foul language against the democratic people of Karachi who want to break the shackles and then order protest days, thus resulting in more loss of life, property and earning for the common man. May Allah help Pakistan.
