The religious parties have been protesting against the change in the finality of Prophethood oath in the law when the government passed the Elections Act 2017 last month. The change, dubbed a clerical error by the government, was immediately fixed as an amendment was passed later.
The Supreme Court took notice of the sit-in on Tuesday and has sought replies from the relevant government quarters.
