April 2, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The government on Thursday made a formal offer to the opposition on the floor of the National Assembly for constitution of a parliamentary committee on electoral reforms. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan moved a motion in the House, authorizing the speaker to constitute a parliamentary committee on electoral reforms comprising members from both government and opposition benches. The members from the main opposition parties, including the PML-N and the PPP immediately opposed the move as they said the opposition parties have not been consulted on the issue. PML-N parliamentarian Khurram Dastgir said the objective is to take on rigging in polls at the state level and the opposition be consulted before initiating any move.
