Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that after the law is amended, all upcoming by-elections for the Election Commission must be held on an electronic voting machine and if the elections are not held on a voting machine electronic, the government will not be able to finance the Electoral Commission.

In a press conference after the cabinet meeting, Fawad Chaudhry said that the new type of crown, Omi Crone, is very dangerous but that two things remain to be seen about the effectiveness of existing vaccines against it and secondly, about its dangerousness.

"At the moment, we only know that the virus is spreading 10 times faster, but it will take two to three weeks to know how effective these vaccines are against it," he said.

He said that this virus will definitely reach Pakistan, so far we have fought the war against Corona in Pakistan so brilliantly that we hope to defeat it, but as in the first four waves, the nation has competed. Also, we will need the same type of support for the fifth variant.

Fawad Chaudhry said that after the law change, we understand that all upcoming by-elections for the Election Commission must be held on an electronic voting machine and if the elections are not held on an electronic voting machine, the government will not be able to fund the Electoral Commission because the law. Only EVMs accept elections.

He said that the Minister of Law also believes that, in general, the government will be able to provide funds to the Electoral Commission for the elections only when the elections are in EVM. Therefore, we have formed a committee and from now on the government will be able to finance what will be done through the electronic voting machine.

He said the cabinet also raised serious concerns about Lahore's vote buying video and we believe that the way the votes were bought in the senatorial elections, if it had been implemented then, there would have been implemented today. This situation was not seen during these elections.

The Information Minister said that in any democratic country where elections are the basis for the formation of a government, it is very important that the electoral system is transparent and that everyone has confidence in it. Therefore, it is very important that the Electoral Commission is strong and efficient. We believe that the Election Commission should bring the issue of vote theft in Lahore to a logical conclusion in conjunction with the Senate elections.

He said that the paperwork of 3 billion ارب that was supposed to keep Saudi Arabia in the PBS has been completed, while the paperwork for 1.12 billion of oil to be paid in case of delay in the payment, which will add value to the dollar. Stability is likely to come.

He said that the prices of raw materials have been falling steadily, but our main problem is the prices of raw materials in Karachi and Hyderabad. Even commodity prices are out of control.

He said that commodities including flour and sugar are expensive there and we want to ask the Prime Minister of Sindh to solve their problems as our price index goes up and down 40% due to Karachi.

He said that a record rice production has been achieved in Pakistan this year and farmers have produced 9 million metric tons of rice, which is expected to generate $ 4.75 billion in foreign currency.
