Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Tuesday stressed the need to reinvent democracy in line with the technological, informational and demographic revolutions that are shaping the 21st century.
The minister expressed his views at a seminar titled “Shaping social democracy – since 1925” in the federal capital.
