PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to amend the Police Act 2017, which has sparked controversy in the province. The PTI government is calling the amendment bill necessary for an impartial accountability of the police in the province.
The government claims that the proposed bill is not final and further consultations are under way. Police sources, however, termed the bill as deprivation of police powers and interference in policing, which would affect the performance and independence of the police.
Former IGs had also opposed the proposed legislation. They said the PTI government made history by giving operational autonomy to the KP Police and making it apolitical, professional and accountable. On the contrary, this unique achievement is being undone. If the vested interests succeed in their designs, these landmark achievements will stand nullified.
