What you should know
Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar has said that it is unforgivable to deliberately change what has been passed by the parliamentary committee. The Home Minister said this before the Special Parliamentary Committee formed to investigate the provisions of the two-year 'cooling off period' in the Federal Civil Bill.
The special committee formed to study and investigate the error in the report of the Federal Civil Service Bill submitted its report to the Speaker on Tuesday. In the said report, the views of the Home Minister writer before the committee are mentioned.
The State Administration Committee had arranged a 'cooling off period' for employees who resigned or went on compulsory retirement from civil service and other government services and would not receive constitutional, government or diplomatic appointments for 2 years . The chief secretary and secretaries were against the arrangement. During the writing of the report of the committee, a provision was also made that the arrangement would be broken . The Home Minister said that it is serious to keep the said arrangement.
Home Minister writer has said, 'There was an error in this matter for which investigation is being conducted. It can be intentional or human error or it can be done by someone intentionally . Who is responsible for drafting this? This error had to be done in two ways, one was to distinguish the nature and type of it and had to proceed accordingly . It is a very serious matter if it is done with someone's intention. It is inexcusable if a parliamentary committee intentionally changes what has already been passed. It should be seen in the same way .'
