The Senate Standing Committee on Interior, chaired by Senator Faisal Saleem Rahman, convened today at the Parliament House. The members discussed “The Prevention of Electronic Crimes (Amendment) Bill, 2025,” which was introduced by Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar during the Senate sitting on 24-01-2025.
Senator Faisal Saleem Rahman emphasized the Committee's readiness to provide constructive suggestions to the government to facilitate improvement. The Committee members unanimously agreed on the necessity of a robust law to prevent electronic crimes and ensure strict compliance.
