ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The government on Monday decided to summon joint session the Parliament on Wednesday.

Talking to media in Islamabad on Monday, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said that PML-N had appointed Rana Shamim as Chief Justice of Gilgit-Baltistan, adding that the PML-N has always made courts controversial.
He said PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Khawaja Asif held press conference after receiving court notice and the judge being named was not even on the bench.
It is pertinent to mention here that on November 10, the government had postponed a joint sitting of Parliament to reach consensus on other issues, including electoral reforms.
