After backlash over proposed law, state minister outlines more stringent measures for blue passport issuance

The backlash over a bill allowing the issuance of blue passports to former parliamentarians' children has prompted the Minister of State for Interior, Tallal Chaudhry, to introduce more stringent measures. Chaudhry has assured that these passports will now be restricted to "only official duties" and issued for a limited time. This move comes after significant criticism, highlighting broader concerns about special privileges and the need for stricter oversight. The revised approach underscores the government's attempt to address public outcry and maintain transparency in passport issuance.
