Sindh Law Minister Ayaz Soomro tabled the ordinance in the house which was passed in the assembly with a majority vote. However opposition benches tore the copies the ordinance.
Jam Ali said that “we urged the government to withdraw this ordinance and present it in the house as a bill, but our demand was rejected.
