The Senate body session was chaired by Senator Faisal Saleem. The meeting was attended by Senators Shahadat Awan, Umar Farooq, Kamran Murtaza, Palwasha Khan, and Mir Dostain Hassan Domki. During the session, journalist representatives opposed the bill, claiming it restricts press freedom and contains multiple flaws.
