President summons joint session of parliament tomorrow

President Dr Arif Alvi has summoned the joint session of parliament on Wednesday.

The joint session of parliament will be held at 1200 hours on Wednesday.

At least eight to 10 bills, including the one relating to electronic voting machines and the right to vote for overseas Pakistanis, will be presented during the joint session of parliament.

Earlier on Monday, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed had said that the government’s coalition allies, the PML-Q and the MQM-P, have both agreed on the bills that are to be tabled in the joint sitting of parliament on Wednesday.

Rasheed had said it is the prime minister’s dream to introduce EVMs in elections as it would ensure transparency and resolve the issue of mistrust in the electoral system.
