MMA vows to defend Hasba Bill

PESHAWAR—Muthahida Majlis Amal ( MMA) NWFP has strongly defended the Hasba Bill against allegations of the Bill being unconstitutional and said that the Bill has been rid of controversial clauses that previously made it unacceptable to Apex Supreme Court.
The spokesmen MMA, Hakeem Abdul Waheed, while talking to Online, accused the federal government of playing hide and seek with the alliance, while the Bill stands a chance of being accepted despite not being signed by Governor on 17th Dec, according to a constitutional clause. He said that a high-ranking meeting of the alliance was also held in this connection, and funds have been allocated, and ombudsmen have been delegated well in advance.
He cited the example of other Provinces, which already have their ombudsmen while NWFP lacks the facility.—Agencies
