• Bilawal rejects offer, saying govt is not serious in reforms
• Imran urges people to pay taxes to become a ‘real sovereign nation’

ISLAMABAD: For the first time, Prime Minister Imran Khan himself on the floor of the house has invited the opposition to sit with the government on electoral reforms to hold ‘objection-free’ general elections.
“Time has come that [when] we contest elections, no one worries about being defeated through rigging... We came to one result — the only solution is EVMs [electronic voting machines]. All that [post-voting] rigging period can be eliminated if result comes [immediately] after election,” said Mr Khan before offering the opposition parties to sit with the government for electoral reforms.
