The Governor Punjab said that despite the obstacles of the opposition on the issue of electoral reforms, the government would succeed in enacting legislation on other important issues including electoral reforms in the next few days in joint session of the parliament.

He said that giving the right to vote to overseas Pakistani was the mission of government in which it would succeed, and it would strengthen the democracy and parliament in Pakistan.

Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar while paying homage to Hakim-ul-Umat, Allama Mohammad Iqbal, said that the teachings of Allama Iqbal became the basis of the concept of Pakistan; his philosophy of Khudi (Self) was a beacon for all humanity.
