He condemned the political parties that are supporting the amendment, saying that they should feel “ashamed” for backing such legislation.

CM Gandapur vowed to utilise every available constitutional avenue to protect their legitimate rights. “Introducing such a bill is an extreme move,” he said, adding, “We will first defeat it in parliament, and then take the matter to court.”
