The PPP has accused the parliamentary opposition of betraying the victims of crime, following their walkout from parliament in protest at the government’s refusal to consider amendments to the stakeholders’ anti-crime pact.
“The walkout is a betrayal of the victims of crimes in our society,” the ruling party charged in a press release, adding that the walkout by the parliamentary opposition was a violation of the agreement reached by broad consensus. The PPP noted that the opposition parties in Parliament in trying to justify their walkout on March 27 during the debate on the motion moved by the Prime Minister on the stakeholders meeting had stated that the PPP/C had refused to accept their amendments.
