The government and opposition sides have expedited their preparations ahead of the parliament’s joint session to be held on November 11 (tomorrow).

The federal government led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its coalition partners have planned to approve legislation regarding electoral, law reforms and the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the upcoming joint sitting of the parliament.

On the other hand, the opposition parties decided to give tough time to the federal government by attempting to block the passage of the legislation to sail through the parliament’s session following their serious reservations on the draft laws for electoral reforms and especially the use of EVMs.
