He said that there is no other opinion on the belief in the End of Prophethood; it is a fundamental part of the faith of every Muslim.

On this occasion, Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi paid rich tributes to Raja Basharat for resolving the issue of Tehreek-e-Labbek in an efficient manner.

The Law Minister presented a condolence resolution on the demise of late MPA Waris Kalu, IA Rehman and Zia Shahid. Waris Kalu tabled 11 new ordinances and two new bills for approval in the House while 8 new bills proposed by him were passed.
