PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Tuesday passed The Local Government (Second Amendment) Bill, 2015 amid walk-out by JUI-F legislators to pave way for establishing Village and Neighbourhood Councils in all districts of the province.

The legislation namely The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government (Second Amendment) Bill, 2015 was presented in the house by Senior Minister for Local Government, Inayatullah Khan. After delimitation of the councils by Election Commission of Pakistan, the provincial government by notification in the official Gazette will notify its establishment in all districts.

The Bill also included the proposed establishment of district and tehsil councils for district Kohistan and newly curved out district of Kohistan Lower.

Maulana Asmatullah, a JUI-F legislator from the district said that the proposed amendment is against the 1973 constitution, saying that the area is provincially administered tribal area and no legislation would be made for them without the approval of President of Pakistan. Furthermore, he termed it a subjudice matter.

The leader of opposition, Maulana Lutf-ur-Rehman also stood in support of his colleague and proposed constitution of a committee for carrying out detailed review of the legislation to come up with a unanimous solution of the matter.

The Senior Minister however declined to pay any heed to the proposals of the opposition legislators and said the provincial assembly has mandate of making legislation for districts of the province while districts are made on administrative basis.

He said as the Local Council is responsible for holding elections in all districts and tehsils, therefore, they are bringing the proposed amendment in the Local Government Act. He said that new district in Kohistan had already been made where Deputy Commissioner (DC) and District Police Officer (DPO) are also posted.

Regarding the contentions that the matter is subjudice, he said a petition in this regard has already been rejected by the Abbottabad Bench of Peshawar High Court. He dispelled the impression that the matter is repugnant to the constitution.

He said that after passage of the bill from the provincial assembly, a summary will be sent to the Governor and after his approval it would be sent to the President of Pakistan through the Department of Home and Tribal Affairs.

REXBURG Dan Roberts and members of the Second Amendment Alliance are staging a march and rally in Rexburg this Saturday Feb. 21, in support of the House Bill 89, or the Constitutional Carry bill.

Roberts said those participating will meet at 3:30 p.m. at the Madison County Courthouse and all participants are welcome to open carry their favorite firearms.

He said those assembled at the courthouse will then march to the Rexburg Tabernacle, where they will listen to a short presentation and be given the opportunity to sign a petition supporting the constitutional carry bill.

Roberts said House bill 89, or the constitutional carry bill, was recently tabled by the State Affairs Committee in the State Legislature. The bill would enable constitutional carry or concealed carry, without a permit in the State of Idaho.

Roberts also said this demonstration is loosely coordinated with another rally in Boise that is calling for the legislature to take another look at House Bill 89.

Roberts said this rally would be almost exactly the same as the pro-Second Amendment rally two years ago, except with a specific focus on the constitutional carry legislation.

Its a little different focus, you know, last time we were just talking about gun rights in general and not wanting to have more restrictions. This time were looking more at being proactive, trying to get rid of some existing regulations; specifically, we would like to see what they call a constitutional carry, which is basically any law abiding citizen in Idaho could carry within the state boundaries concealed without a permit, Roberts said.

Roberts said this years presentation at the tabernacle will be short, with only a few speakers, including Ron Nate, who represents Rexburg in the Idaho legislature.

Roberts said according to current regulations there are two types of concealed carry permits: one requires no training and a $60 fee and the other is an enhanced concealed carry permit that requires a course in addition to a fee.

Roberts said that since the standard concealed carry permit doesnt require any training, merely a fee for a background check, then the permits are useless.

Open carry rally slated

Remember when Gov. Cuomo suggested last summer that certain people i.e., those who are pro-life, pro-Second Amendment or anti-gay have no place in the state of New York?

Well, California is putting the Cuomo vision into practice, and its not pretty.

The target was the Boy Scouts. In a unanimous ruling, all seven justices on the states Supreme Court accepted an amendment to the states judicial code that has the primary effect of preventing any California state judge from serving as an adult volunteer for the Scouts.

Though the Boy Scouts have lifted the prohibition on openly gay Scouts, they still dont let gay adults serve as, say, Scoutmasters. The court imposed its ban, it said, to preserve the fairness, impartiality, independence and honor of the judiciary.

Of course, it does nothing of the kind.

In the past decade, gay Americans have secured victories once thought impossible: same-sex marriage, the ability to serve openly in the military and so forth.

At least in cases like this one, alas, victory hasnt led to a live-and-let-live approach. To the contrary, these victories seem to be accompanied by an effort to tar anyone who might disagree with bigotry and drive them off the public square basically for holding the same position President Obama held just a few years ago.

We leave it to the courts to settle the larger First Amendment issues here. All we say is that America is better than this.

In the name of tolerance itself, shouldnt it be possible to uphold gay rights without having to crush a venerable American institution in the name of political correctness?
