ISLAMABAD: Political leaders and analysts have lauded formation of the Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reforms as step in the right direction.

Talking to Radio Pakistan, they expressed the confidence that the Committee would succeed in removing drawbacks of the electoral system through parliamentary mechanism.
