Dasti sees Jewish conspiracy in anti-rape, anti-honor killing bills
October 7, 2016 By: Samaa Web Desk Published in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: Jamshaid Dasti, a member of the National Assembly, said that the parliament has been subdued by the American non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their Jewish agenda as the joint session of the parliament passed anti-rape and anti-honour killing bills.
“Indian forces are standing on the border, hundreds of our soldiers are injured and many have embraced martyrdom. There was no point of bringing up this bill today. We had to send a message to our enemy, but this bill (anti-rape bill) has overshadowed it,” he said while speaking during the session.
He also lamented that “today even 5th graders are aware of sex education”.
The legislation on honour killings introduces strict punishment for the convicts making it tougher than the ordinary murder cases.
Under the new law relatives of the victim would only be able to pardon the killer if he is sentenced to capital punishment. However, the culprit would still face a mandatory life sentence of twelve-and-a-half years.
Before moving the Anti-Rape Bill, Babar informed the joint session: “The bill will prove to be effective in curbing rape cases across the country.”
Debating during the session, Law Minister Zaid Hamid revealed that the perpetrator of the crime will also be medically examined after this bill is turned into law.
“The verdicts in the rape cases will have to be given within three months, with the right to appeal in six months,” he added.
“The police station will be obliged to inform the victims of their legal rights,” Hamid said, adding, “We have made it mandatory that the culprit must be imprisoned for 25 years.”
