'Shameful': Proposed bill allowing blue passports for ex-legislators’ kids comes under scrutiny on social media
A proposed bill allowing blue passports for children under 28 of ex-legislators has been criticized by politicians, journalists, and experts for expanding privileges and undermining democracy. The Senate panel approved the legislation, which aligns ex-MPs with entitlements of retired Grade-22 government officers, but State Minister Tallal Chaudhry denied supporting it. Critics argue it widens the trust gap between elites and citizens and enables 'foreign escape routes.'
