In protest, black partridge breeders pressured Punjab government to reintroduce the suspended method of licensing of keeping the birds in a protest held in Muzaffargarh.
As of the sources, partridge lovers who make black partridges gathered a rally with the leadership of Asif Nadeem, the President of Black Partridge Association Pakistan. The demonstrators used banners and placards that were imprinted with the slogans to their demands.
Asif Nadeem gave a speech at the rally claiming that the keeping of black partridges is a significantly important aspect of the Punjab cultural heritage. He explained that breeders and fans in the entire province are outcrying to have the licenses of keeping the birds suspended.
He stated that this restriction is limited to Punjab. The new licenses have been suspended and even renewal of the current licenses has been discontinued. Nonetheless, we still have licenses issued in other provinces.

Nadeem claimed that breeders have been keeping rare black partridges in their homes to multiply them over the years instead of killing them. We are raising these birds as our own children, said he, and that when they are sold they will raise the culture of Punjab and also preserve the species.
The association urged the Punjab Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the Senior Provincial Minister, Marriyum Aurangzeb as well as provincial wildlife bodies to revize their policy and resume issuing licenses rather than act on breeders.
