The Pakistan Peoples Party will not support the passage of the Pakistan Telecommunication (Amendment) Bill 2026 in the Senate without significant changes, according to PPP Vice President Senator Sherry Rehman. She stated the party would insist on a thorough review in the standing committee and the deletion of “draconian clauses.”
Ms. Rehman specifically identified Clause 27-A, related to the acquisition of private land for telecom infrastructure, as a key point of contention. She clarified that while the PPP supports expanding fibre optic networks, it cannot approve the bill in its current form due to issues with right-of-way, penalties, and redressal mechanisms.
