Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Farhatullah Babar said that the matter regarding working with INGOs should have been brought before parliament. He vowed to raise the issue in the upper house of Parliament. Former Senator Afrasiab Khattak was of the view that by taking such decisions, the policymakers were pushing Pakistan towards further global isolation.
