Nadeem Raza (Senior Analyst): It had been a long standing demand of the overseas Pakistanis from the government to grant them right to vote. Some nine million Pakistanis have been residing in various countries of the world. Many of them visit their home country for brief periods of time during vacations. But they are really interested in development and prosperity of Pakistan. It is yet to be seen how the arrangements for enabling them to vote will be made. Opposition parties are protesting over the use of Electronic Voting Machines and it is the job of government to make sure that no one raises any objection on electoral process. The incumbent government has also introduced Roshan Digital Accounts for overseas Pakistanis to provide them maximum facilities. As a result, foreign remittances through legal channels have increased to manifold in recent months.
