He said his government will introduce a constitutional amendment to change the current procedure of secret balloting in Senate election.

He said his government 's aim is to bring an end to buying and selling of votes.

Speaking about PDM's rallies and long march, he said opposition should announce the date of the long march because the government is 'not afraid of their blackmailing tactics' and would welcome them in Islamabad by providing them a desi container.

"Opposition must protest in democratic manners but they have been badly exposed in their recent PDM's rallies and they would prepare themselves for facing another defeat", he added.

Replying to a question, he said we will not be blackmailed, and no matter what strategy the opposition adopted, PM Imran Khan would not give an NRO to anyone.
