Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry contacted PTI Chief Whip Aamir Dogar by telephone, during which the two leaders held a detailed discussion regarding matters concerning the Electoral Reforms Committee.

According to sources, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry requested Aamir Dogar to join the parliamentary committee and urged the opposition to promptly submit the names of their nominees to the Speaker. He noted that the opposition’s participation would strengthen both the Parliament and democracy, and that the opposition would play a significant role regarding electoral reforms.

According to sources, Aamir Dogar inquired about the composition of the parliamentary committee. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry explained that the formation of the committee would take into account the parliamentary strength of each party; based on the proportion of seats, the committee would consist of 15 members from the government and 5 members from the opposition.

Sources stated that Aamir Dogar questioned what role the opposition could possibly play given such minimal representation. Consequently, Aamir Dogar demanded that the government reconsider the formula used for the formation of the parliamentary committee.
