The resolution, initiated by Dr. Seema Zia, a Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), garnered broad support, including from major parties such as the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
The resolution explicitly calls on the government to implement effective measures to eliminate illegal SIMs nationwide, highlighting these devices’ role in facilitating criminal activities. The resolution aims to enhance security and reduce crime rates by addressing this issue, urging a concerted effort from all stakeholders to tackle this pervasive challenge.
