Islamabad : Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib has said the government is striving to ensure transparency and fairness in the next general elections but the opposition parties are not extending cooperation on electoral reforms.

Talking to the media persons outside Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in Islamabad on Wednesday, he asked the PML-N and PPP to submit the details of their foreign funding accounts to the ECP as both the parties have so far failed to submit details.
