The second reading of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) (Amendment) Bill is currently underway in Parliament today.
Foreign Minister GL Peiris presented the Bill in Parliament this morning.
Addressing the house, Minister Peiris said the proposed amendments to the 43-year-old PTA Act are not a mere cosmetic change but a meaningful effort considering the needs of the present-day Sri Lanka.
The Foreign Minister also assured that every one of the proposed amendments to the PTA will make a difference in Sri Lanka.
