| Bill aimed at making ISI accountable withdrawn |
ISLAMABAD A bill aimed at making the ISI more accountable to the parliament and government has been withdrawn from the Senate by the Presidential Spokesman, who had submitted it in his private capacity.
Farhatullah Babar, the spokesman of President Asif Ali Zardari, had submitted the bill to the upper house of the parliament last week. It is believed that the move had the backing of the presidency. The bill was reportedly withdrawn because Ba-bar did not get it approved by a special committee of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party headed by Law Minister Farook H. Naek. This committee approves all private members’ bills.
The bill could be submitted for consideration in the next session of the Senate, media reports said.
