LAHORE: Punjab Governor Mohammad Rafique Rajwana has summoned the 25th session of the Punjab Assembly on November 24 at 2pm.

The Punjab Assembly Secretariat in this regard issued a gazette notification on Wednesday. Earlier, the opposition legislators submitted two separate resolutions in the assembly secretariat regarding ‘imposition of ban on child marriages’ and ‘reinvestigation of people working in the embassies operational in the country’ in a bid to identify and disclose ‘RAW’ agents in the Indian High Commission. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) legislator Nabila Hakim Ali filed the resolution about the rechecking of foreign diplomats’ backgrounds in the Notice Branch of the Punjab Assembly. She said that disclosure of RAW agents, covering themselves as diplomats and working in the Indian High Commission, was a serious concern and such issues were defaming diplomats. Nabila said the ambassadors were generally known as symbols of peace in other countries, but India misused these important positions by sending secret agents in the guise of diplomats.

The PTI legislator demanded the federal government to reinvestigate all diplomats belonging to different embassies in Pakistan in order to root out Indian involvement from the country. Separately, PTI legislator Malik Temour Masood filed a resolution in which he pointed out that all issues pertaining to employment, health, education, clean water and food shortage were created due to uncontrolled increase in population. He demanded the government to impose immediate restrictions on child marriages, besides evolving a provincial body for population planning.
