Military courts gets constitutional cover as Senate passes 28th Amendment

ISLAMABAD: The Senate on Tuesday passed the 28th Constitutional Amendment Bill with the required two-thirds majority.

With the passage of the Bill, the military courts were given constitutional cover..

Seventy-eight members voted in the favor of the bill while three opposed it.

Maulana Attaur Rehman of the JUI-F had asked that the clause pertaining to “terrorism in the name of religion” be removed or changed as it runs the risk of associating religion and terrorism.

The suggestion had been rejected. It remains to be seen what new objections were brought up in today’s session.
