PTI did not agree. Party did not vote on the bill (same bill that had Khatm-e-Nabuwat exclusions) and had boycotted the electoral reform committee due to such stuff.
These are the truths, backed by facts. You can check who all voted for the bill easily, it is part of parliamentary records.
Blame rests on those who voted for this, and those are PPP and PMLN. Had PTI voted against, the bill still would have been passed.

ECP to accept nomination papers from today
LAHORE: The Election Commission of Pakistan has started accepting nomination papers for the general elections till June 8 after the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Sunday overruled the Lahore High Court's verdict.
The Supreme Court suspended the nullification of nomination forms of the electoral candidates for the upcoming general elections by LHC.
The apex court bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, announced the verdict after former speaker of National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, and Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) filed petitions earlier in the day challenging the LHC's rulings on the nomination forms.
On Friday, the LHC had ruled that the nomination forms of the electoral candidates do not seek necessary information and declarations such as details on educational background, criminal record or if they are dual nationals.
The LHC also ordered ECP to again add the requirements of Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution in the nomination papers.
During the court proceedings on Sunday, the petitioners' counsel stated that LHC’s decision on nomination forms would delay elections, adding that they took the matter to Supreme Court as they did not want elections to be postponed.
The counsel added that the elections are feared to be delayed as the filing of nomination papers has been put on hold following LHC’s ruling. Earlier, the nomination papers were to be filed between June 2 and 6.
However, the CJP remarked that elections would be conducted as per the schedule – on July 25.
According to ECP, the initial list of candidates will be displayed on June 8, while dates for other developments regarding elections would remain unchanged.
Nomination papers' scrutiny
The nomination papers will be scrutinised on June 14, while appeals against decisions by retuning officers can be filed till June 19, as per ECP. It further stated that the appeal tribunal will wind up requests by June 26 and a day later, on June 27, candidates’ list would be displayed again.
The candidates will then have time until June 28 to withdraw their nomination papers, after which a new list — with election symbols — would be issued on June 29.
Sadiq announces to challenge LHC verdict
On Saturday, Sadiq had announced that he is going to challenge Lahore High Court’s decision in relation to the nomination papers.
Sadiq, while speaking to media, said that all the parties in the parliament approved Election Reform Act.
He said that as the custodian of the assembly it is his responsibility that he should file a petition against the decision of the single bench and declare it void.
Sadiq said that due to the ECP forming new forms can delay the elections, therefore, he will appeal that the said date should not be changed so elections can he held on time.
He further said that similar conspiracies against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz even took place in 2002 but they will not be successful.
ECP summons meeting over LHC, BHC verdicts
On Saturday, the ECP also announced that recent verdicts by the Lahore and Balochistan high courts would be challenged in the Supreme Court following an emergency meeting of the commission.
"The Election Commission of Pakistan has decided to immediately approach the Supreme Court over yesterday's decision of the Lahore High Court," Additional Secretary Akhtar Nazeer told reporters.
"The Balochistan High Court has declared delimitation of eight provincial assembly constituencies in Quetta and one in Panjgur null and void. The Election Commission of Pakistan will also immediately approach the Supreme Court on this matter," Nazeer added while speaking to reporters following the meeting.
ECP Additional Secretary Akhtar Nazeer said returning officers across the country have been asked to not accept any nomination paper on June 3 and June 4. A new schedule would be issued to the returning officers after Supreme Court gives its verdict, the additional secretary added.
However, elections would be held on July 25, regardless, he added.

This is the worst decision SC could give! What the hell is the merit of the nominee if even basic info such as criminal check and education background is missing from the form?! So basically, a rapist, fraudster, known mafia can contest? Just as well as a matric failed can? Taliyan!

I just watched which you and proudpakistani shared here..
I noticed that more then two or three times guest and anchor asked this question that why LHC was not reacting before before.. I think that they dont know yet that LHC had repeatedly asked Federal Government to respond about changes made in Nomination Forms.
Former Speaker National Assembly Blatantly Lies about Nomination Form Judgement!

PPP & PMLN - liars!
Check Parliament's records. PTI had boycotted vote on that bill. It is the same bill that contained Khatm-e-Nabuwat removal.
You can believe the liars or verify yourself who all voted on that bill.

Did they boycotted it because of Khatme nabuta issue or because of changing nomination form?
I am definitely against this . We have seen recent cases of, hiding assets, Iqama, Panama and process of scrutiny for politicians should be more strict than relaxing it even further to make it easy for them
if what you are saying is true then PTI should boycott election or should promise to restore it if get in power
