Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said that the electoral reforms were a part of the national agenda and not of a particular individual or party. The minister took to his official Twitter handle to state that electoral reforms were not “the agenda of Imran Khan or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf [PTI],” but were a national agenda. “We [the government] presented 49-point electoral reform idea before the allies,” the minister said, adding that further briefings would be given to the coalition partners in this regard. “We have sought their support for the electoral reforms agenda and they have graciously agreed,” he said. They mentioned that PML-Q’s Tariq Bashir Cheema said the party could not support the bill until it consulted its leadership.
