The bill was introduced in the assembly of the Northwest Frontier Province.
The bill proposes, among other things, that a religious watchdog be appointed to ensure observance of Islamic values in public places and that a religious ombudsman supervise the media under the control of the provincial government to ensure that publications are "useful for the promotion of Islamic values."
Opposition lawmakers described the bill as fundamentalism and Talibanization and called the draft bill a "black law."
