Naqvi states in his petition that State Minister Ali Muhammad Khan tabled a bill seeking pay raise for NA members. Under the bill, he added, members of the lower house of Parliament were entitled to 25 air tickets in a year or demand a refund in case they are unable to use them.

The lawmakers’ family members can also use these air tickets, the petitioner submitted and pleaded with the high court to strike down the bill in view of the prevailing situation facing the country.

The SHC will strike it down. The SHC works for these politicians in Sindh, not for the people or Pakistan.
