2014 میں مولانا محمد خان شیرانی نے ایک بل پیش کیا، جسے اس وقت کی کمیٹی برائے انصاف و قانون نے مسترد کر دیا۔
2017 میں جمعیت علمائے اسلام (جے یو آئی) کی رکن نعیمہ کشور نے شراب پر پابندی کا ایک بل پیش کیا جو کمیٹیوں میں زیرِ بحث رہا۔ 2018 میں اسی بل کو رمیش کمار نے دوبارہ پیش کیا، لیکن جمعیت علمائے اسلام کے علاوہ تمام پارٹیوں نے اسے مسترد کر دیا۔
2019 میں جب رمیش کمار نے یہ بل دوبارہ پیش کیا تو پارلیمانی سیکرٹری برائے قانون و انصاف ملیکہ بخاری نے بل کمیٹی کے سپرد کرنے کی تجویز دی۔ اس وقت کے ڈپٹی اسپیکر قاسم سوری نے بل پر ووٹنگ کروائی تو تحریک انصاف نے، جس کی اس وقت حکومت تھی، بل کے خلاف ووٹ دیا۔ جبکہ صرف جمعیت علمائے اسلام کے اراکین نے بل کے حق میں ووٹ دیا۔ بل پر دستخط بھی صرف جمعیت کے اراکین نے کیے تھے۔
یہ بات بھی قابل ذکر ہے کہ یہ بل سینیٹ میں سینیٹر حافظ حمد اللہ اور قومی اسمبلی میں جے یو آئی کی اقلیتی ممبر آسیہ ناصر پہلے بھی پیش کر چکے ہیں۔
بل کے متن میں یہ ذکر کیا گیا ہے کہ تمام مذاہب میں شراب ممنوع ہے، لہٰذا پاکستان میں اقلیتوں کی آڑ میں اس کاروبار کو بند کیا جائے۔ بل پر دستخط کرنے والے جے یو آئی کے اراکین میں درج ذیل نام شامل تھے:

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan, met with Sheikh Muhammad Awama, a renowned Turkish scholar and spiritual figure, in Istanbul. The meeting was an important occasion where both leaders discussed religious, intellectual, and issues facing the Muslim Ummah. Sheikh Muhammad Awama is a prominent researcher, Muhaddith (Hadith scholar), and a respected scholar from Aleppo, Syria, who has lived in Madina and Jeddah and is currently residing in Istanbul, Turkey. He received direct training from esteemed scholars like Sheikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah and Sheikh Abdullah Sirajuddin. Sheikh Abu Ghuddah had special trust in him and referred to him as "Tilmidh al-Ams wa Zameel al-Yawm" (yesterday's student and today's companion). Sheikh Awama's writings, speeches, and scholarly gatherings reflect his deep knowledge and research. This meeting between two great intellectual and spiritual personalities was truly memorable. May Allah grant Sheikh Awama long life with health and well-being and enable the Muslim Ummah to benefit from such knowledgeable individuals. The delegation included Mufti Muhammad Abrar Ahmad Khan, trusted associate of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and Allama Rashid Mahmood Soomro, Secretary General of JUI.
