Several other bills have not been confirmed, including Senator Mohsin Aziz’s control of the drug (amendment) bill, which was rejected by the Ministry of Education, the Higher Education Commission, the Ministry of Health, the Law and Justice, the anti -drug force, and the lack of support for the relevant governments.
Senator Mohsin Aziz presented a bill on drug prevention in educational institutions, which included positive-bowling, 15-day suspension, and fined Anti-Drug Force (ANF) officials fought that focus should be on drug sellers, students should not be victims.
Officials added that scanning in 80 % of educational institutions has been completed. However, taking drug tests on children does not fall into the ANF circle.
Senator Shahadat Aun objected to the bill and said that the law was equivalent to interfering with the provincial powers, while the law ministry also took the stand that the matter should be handed over to the education department instead of the ANF. Senator Irfan Siddiqui made it clear that neither the provincial government, nor the educational institution, nor the Ministry of Education is supporting the bill. Senator Momin Aziz called for increasing drug use, which is estimated to affect about 30 % of the population. After a complete debate, the committee found the bill unbearable.

The national professional health and safety bill transferred by Senator Zarqa Suhrardi, and the Code of Conduct (Amendment) Bill, transferred by Senator Fawzia Irshad, 2024, were excluded due to the absence of moor.
