The minister arranged the press conference for clarifying the government stance on 133 ordinances promulgated by the interim government. 

Speaking on the issue of the enforced disappearance commission, the minister said he himself was a victim of enforced disappearance. 

So, it’s an utmost import task for the present government to address the flaws in the ordinance, he said adding that the law should be revised in a way that guarantees justice for victims.
