    President Dr Arif Alvi has summoned a joint session of the Parliament on Thursday, November 11, as Opposition parties brace to give a tough time to the government on legislation over electoral reforms, NAB and other issues.

    Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry disclosed that the session had been convened to pass the electoral reforms and various other bills.

    The minister criticised Opposition parties, advising them to "learn to stand on your feet".

    "You can't succeed by hatching conspiracies all the time," the minister said. "The Opposition will have to patiently wait for two-and-a-half years more and later, for another five years," he taunted, hinting that the PTI would complete its present tenure and win another term in office during the next general elections.
