So Sindh government has finally
announced Children Drama Industry Ordinance and the Sindh Actor Royalty
Ordinance to protect the rights and well-being of children working in the entertainment
industry. Since the law is announced by the Government of Sindh it will only
protect children in Karachi, as there is hardly any entertainment work carried on
in other areas of Sindh.
It is a nice step but more of it
seems to be purely for marketing purposes before the elections of 2024, because
till yesterday the above laws were not available in draft/ bill forms on the
Sindh assembly’s website.
Then what else is interesting
that both these laws would be introduced as ordinances, consequently they would
be only valid for 120 days thereafter these legislations will need approval of
majority of “ELECTED” members of parliament.
What an irony? At one end Sindh govt. is introducing laws to protect rights of our children but on the other end Sindh assembly's entire elected members of opposition belonging to the most popular political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) are either in hiding or being harassed, kidnaped, victimized and beaten up or in jail begging courts for their personal and their loved ones’ protection. All this is only for supporting and standing by their party Chairman Mr. Imran Khan- who is fighting for the sovereignty, respect and welfare of Pakistan.
