He said the government is going to introduce the Goonda Act. This act will bring back the British era. How can a DC declare someone a goonda? Such an act was in force during the British era in 1930. How can the Punjab government block someone’s card? NADRA is not under their control. You have declared us terrorists. Now you will enter the homes of ordinary citizens.

Concluding the discussion on law and order in the meeting, Parliamentary Secretary Khalid Ranjha said that India had not caused as much damage as the damage caused on May 9. He said that the Goonda Act has not yet been introduced in the house. If it is introduced, it can be amended. Why are the PTI people considering the Goonda Act for themselves?
