Door for Political Dialogue Should Always Remain Open: Attaullah Tarar

Islamabad: Federal Minister for Information, Attaullah Tarar, has emphasized the importance of dialogue in politics, stating that the “door for political discussions should always remain open.”

No Politics on Natural Disasters

No Consultation on 27th Constitutional Amendment Yet
