A Pakistani opposition alliance, Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP), is calling for the removal of IT and Telecom Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja due to a recently approved telecommunication bill. The Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026, passed by the National Assembly, allows telecom operators to install infrastructure, including cell towers, on private property without owner consent. Opponents claim the bill infringes upon fundamental property rights and privacy, potentially imposing hefty fines on landowners who refuse compliance. The TTAP alleges the bill was rushed through parliament without adequate consultation and scrutiny. The bill is currently with the Senate Standing Committee on IT and Telecommunication, where its progress was temporarily halted by the committee chairperson. The opposition seeks representation on the inquiry committee to ensure impartiality and further scrutiny of the legislation.
