POTO to be brought before Lok Sabha next week: Mahajan

The controversial Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance would be brought before the Lok Sabha next week, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pramod Mahajan said on Friday.

Making a statement on government business for the week commencing December 10, Mahajan told the House that the ruling combine wanted POTO to be passed by the Lok Sabha after a debate on it was held.

Bowing to pressure from the opposition and some allies of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, the Union Cabinet on Thursday night agreed to make three major changes in the ordinance promulgated on October 24 last.
