President Mamnoon Hussain will address the joint session of the parliament at the advent of the new parliamentary year in Islamabad today.
The president’s address to the joint session of the parliament before the advent of new parliamentary year is mandatory under Article 6 of the constitution of Pakistan and, therefore, the president in discharge of his constitutional obligation will be addressing the parliament today.
Sources said President Mamnoon Hussain’s maiden address to the parliament to be delivered in Urdu would discuss Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) government’s performance during the last one-year and the challenges confronting the country besides providing the policy guidelines to the government for next year. The president through his balanced speech would also like to give an impression that he was not the representative of any political party, but the president of the entire country.
