Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has officially withdrawn the Counter Subversion Bill along with other related legislative drafts, following widespread public concern. This decision was communicated through a press statement released on Wednesday by Musa Krishi, the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. The withdrawal comes after extensive consultations with key stakeholders and a thorough evaluation of the nation’s current situation.
The Counter Subversion Bill, introduced on July 23, 2024, sparked significant public debate and raised alarms about its potential implications for civil liberties. In response to these concerns, Speaker Tajudeen has chosen to withdraw the bill, demonstrating his commitment to ensuring that the House of Representatives truly reflects the will of the people.
The statement emphasized that Tajudeen’s decision underscores his dedication to upholding national peace and unity, and his refusal to support any legislation that might jeopardize these values. “Speaker Abbas Tajudeen has always been a staunch advocate for the people’s interests,” Krishi noted. “He prioritizes listening to citizens and fostering unity, and this decision reaffirms his commitment to keeping the House of Representatives as the People’s House.”
