Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar has dispelled the impression that the government is going to deprive overseas Pakistanis of right to vote.

Talking to media, along with PPP leader Faisal Karim Kundi and Senator Kamran Murtaza in Islamabad on Friday, he said overseas Pakistanis are precious asset of the country and we cannot deprive them of their right to vote.

He said recent legislation is only aimed at enabling the Election Commission of Pakistan to devise a strategy to ensure right to vote for overseas Pakistanis in a transparent manner.
