At one point, Gilani suggested a one-hour break due to ongoing meetings, which Senator Irfan Siddiqui supported, though the session continued without delay.
Irfan Siddiqui emphasized that the amendment doesn’t violate fundamental rights and should be passed by consensus.
PML-N’s Talal Chaudhry criticized the Supreme Court’s second clarification, calling it controversial and biased.
