The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly unanimously passed a set of amendments to the Members’ Privileges and Facilities Act 2026, doing away with the widely criticized clause that had granted provincial lawmakers lifetime official, or blue, passports. What the KP Assembly Amendments ChangeAlongside scrapping the lifetime passport privilege, the amended law reinstated each lawmaker’s entitlement to four free arms licences, reversing a previous reduction. Provincial Minister Akbar Ayub introduced the resolution, which asserted that both districts remain firmly part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Lawmakers framed the move as a defense of provincial autonomy amid speculation about federal territorial changes. With both the amendment bill and the resolution cleared, the assembly session was adjourned and is set to reconvene on August 10.
