Controversial Violent Extremism Act 2023, Withdrawn Amidst Strong Opposition from PTI Senators

On Sunday, in a session presided over by Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, Violent Extremism Act, 2023, a contentious bill intended to thwart extremist or violent organizations from participating in elections, was presented by Shahadat Awan.

However, the proposed bill was met with stern opposition from the senators of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, resulting in the proposal’s swift descent into controversy.

The ruling government was further met with opposition from its allied parties, including the JUI (F) and the Balochistan National Party, who threatened to walk out if the bill was ratified. Senator Kamran Murtaza from JUI-F voiced his concern by stating, “You’re probably cutting your hands today,” highlighting the perceived lack of consensus and consultation with coalition parties before proposing such legislation.

Accusations of Undermining Democracy and the Bill’s Ultimate Fate

Tahir Bizenjo, Senator of the Balochistan National Party (BNP), denounced the bill as an explicit assault on democracy. He accused the PML-N of not involving them in the legislative process and expressed dismay over the dominant role of two ‘big parties’ in crucial decision-making.

The JUI-F was also critical of the proposed legislation. Senator Ghafoor Hiaderi challenged Chairman Sanjrani over the decision to conduct the session on a Sunday, suspecting it was meant to expedite the bill’s approval. Sanjrani, however, maintained that the day for the session had been predetermined.

Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan labelled the proposed bill as threatening PTI and all political parties, fearing it would be the “last nail in the coffin of democracy.”

Following this barrage of strong protests, Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani withdrew the proposed bill.
