SANA has also invited the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to attend and speak at the convention on the independence of judiciary.

Special features of the convention this year include a lecture by renowned archaeologist and paleontologist Professor Dr Paolo Biagi on the prehistory Sindh based on his years of research and excavations in Rohri and other areas in Sindh.
