The government has reconvened the joint parliament session today that was cancelled last week. The development came after the PTI-led government has managed to allay the concerns of its allied parties mainly the PML-Q and the MQM-P. Sources said that the government has removed concerns of the PML-Q and other allies especially concerning the electrical reforms.
They said that the PML-Q’s central executive committee, which met on Sunday, although, agreed to support the PTI-led government in the parliament on a number of bills including the electronic voting machines (EVM), but decided not to extend anymore cooperation to the Buzdar-led Punjab government.

The PML-Q has put the federal government into difficult situation where it will manage to get the bills concerning electoral reforms passed but will have to bring a major change in the Punjab government setup.
Political pundits are expecting a major change in the Punjab government in the coming days. The PML-Q is not happy with the Buzdar-led government in Punjab and they want Prime Minister Imran Khan to replace the chief minister.
Now, the PTI’s allies especially the PML-Q are not the real threat to the Centre but to Usman Buzdar.
Yesterday, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the electoral reforms is a national agenda and not that of a Imran Khan or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Taking to Twitter, the federal minister called upon the political parties to come forward to finalise the electoral reforms.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Imran Khan has also summoned a meeting of the PTI leadership today before the joint parliament session.
Sources said that the bills to be tabled in the today’s joint session will be discussed in the meeting.
