ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar held a one-on-one meeting ahead of the symposium on population control in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

The 30-minute long meeting took place in the CJP’s chamber as the prime minister arrived to attend the symposium at the apex court ahead of time.

The symposium organised by the Law and Justice Commission was presided over by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar with Prime Minister Imran Khan as the chief guest. 

All four provincial chief ministers and Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider attended the day-long symposium.
