LAHORE: Former federal minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf(PTI) leader Asad Umar said that the government is deliberately creating confusion about holding elections.
After the hearing of the case of issuing the election schedule, Asad Umar while talking to the media along with his lawyer Barrister Ali Zafar in the Lahore High Court and said that the Governor and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) believe that the elections are to be held in 90 days, but they are not ready to announce the schedule of elections.
The former federal minister said that the Election Commission itself has written that 54 days are required for preparation, and the government is deliberately creating ambiguity, after today’s court proceedings there is no confusion in holding the elections.
Asad Umar said that Imran Khan is reviewing the proposals of the Parliamentary Board and the PTI chairman will issue tickets to the candidates soon. He directed the workers not to waste a single day and prepare for the elections. He hoped PTI will win elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
PTI leader said that the foreign exchange reserves have gone to the lowest level but the government is focusing on arrests. He said the government has arrested Sheikh Rashid, Imran Riaz Khan, and others while the constitution is being trampled underfoot by registering cases of treason.
PTI leader Asad Umar said instead of giving relief to the people the resources have been diverted toward arrests while the government is focusing on revenge.
He said that 220 million people in the country will not let anyone take away their rights and people will not bow down to those who work against the rule of law. He said the country should not be prevented from going to new elections.
