During the event, a question-and-answer session was also held to discuss community-related issues, during which overseas Pakistanis shared their concerns and suggestions. On the occasion, Muhammad Afzal Bhatti and Ahsan-ul-Haq Bajwa paid tribute to Ahsanullah Bhatti for his notable services in resolving community issues, particularly in the field of education.
