Top Defense Analysts are of view that this is a great and much needed step taken and initiative taken by the Government as there are many foreign funded elements and foreign sponsored elements, especially india, in PAKISTAN that uses their systematic and heinous approach to malign the PAKISTAN ARMED FORCES, its Officers, Soldiers and Premier State Institutions of PAKISTAN.
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2020 will significantly help to put an end to this anti-state practice intentionally initiated by the anti-state elements, including indian funding and indian sponsored elements, to spread hatred, confusion and enmity of PAKISTAN ARMED FORCES in the people of PAKISTAN by use of fake details, pictures and video.
Reportedly, all the indian sponsored and foreign funded elements have been damaged and hit badly, as such anti-state and foreign planted elements will not be succeed to plant seed of hatred of PAKISTAN ARMED FORCES among its Nation.
Some analysts show their disappointment that the punishment proposed in the bill is not so severe as compared to the nature of act heinous and treacherous committed by such anti-state elements.
These analysts suggested that the minimum punishment should be 10 years non-bailable imprisonment along with minimum 100 million PKR fine or both.
Nevertheless, it is a great step to maintain the Due Honor, Respect, faith, Sanctity of PAKISTAN ARMED FORCES, who are sacrificing their lives on a number of fronts to protect the honor, faith and respect of both PAKISTAN and its proud 220 Million Great and Brave Nation.
