Rashtra Sangskar Andolan urges formation of tribunal to recover siphoned off money

Rashtra Sangskar Andolan has urged the formation of a special economic tribunal to recover money siphoned out of the country.

The demand was made during a dialogue with the National Consensus Commission (NCC) at the LD Hall of the National Parliament Building on Sunday morning.

Following the discussion, the party's chief coordinator, Hasnat Quaiyum, briefed journalists on the key takeaways.

He said that out of the 166 recommendations proposed by various reform commissions, the party agreed with 151, disagreed with 10, and identified five that require further discussion.

Emphasising constitutional reforms, Quaiyum said, "A referendum should be held on this matter, either before or alongside the national elections.

"Instead of secularism, there should be religious freedom and communal harmony. To ensure fundamental rights, we have proposed establishing citizen courts in every district. We also demand the formation of a special economic tribunal to recover smuggled funds."

Regarding amendments to the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, he highlighted the need for changes, particularly in asset forfeiture regulations. Additionally, he called for specific reforms in matters related to contempt of court.

The dialogue was part of an ongoing series of discussions aimed at national reforms, with the Consensus Commission engaging different political and social groups to build consensus on key policy issues.
