He opined that the Supreme Court had become controversial due to many issues, so there was a need that every province should have its own Supreme Court.
Bhanbhro announced that SNP would organise series of seminars on various burning issues. On June second, a seminar would be held in Hyderabad on extremism in the country. On June 12, a seminar would be organized in Karachi on media crisis, and on June 26, a seminar would be organized on missing persons of Sindh and Balochistan in Hyderabad, he added.
