Former Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry will challenge the census results in court.
He stated his desire through a tweet which appeared on Saturday.
Expressing his distress over census statistics for Punjab, he said it was a blow to the political rights of the province.Â
“What sort of census it is as the population of Punjab has decreased resulting in the loss of eight seats in the National Assembly,” he added. Jhelum and Chakwal will be districts with one seat, he said, adding Multan, Lahore and Gujranwala would also have to lose seats.
