The government of Punjab has made the decision to alter the Right to Peaceful Protest Act 2024. The law department has been entrusted with creating a draft and presenting it to the province cabinet per Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s directives.
The reason for the adjustments
The changes’ main goal, according to government sources, is to legally protect citizens’ rights to peaceful protest while making sure that safeguards against violence and disturbance are in place.
According to officials, the suggested modifications aim to achieve a balance between preserving law and order and defending democratic liberties.
