Summary Opposition Leader says new census has question marks on it, elections shouldn't be delayed
ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah has on Monday said that elections should be held under the findings of the 1998 census since the new census has question marks raised over it. He added that General Election must not be delayed, reported Dunya News.
In a statement, Khursheed Shah said that the ruling Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) had won the election in its constituencies and thus it shouldn’t object to holding the general elections under the same delimitation. He also rejected the idea of a snap election.
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader said that the conspirators against former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif were the people very close to him. “Very close people to Nawaz Sharif are the ones conspiring against him and even Nawaz Sharif knows who the enemy is”, he said.
Shah said that Nawaz Sharif’s politics will end permanently if he flees this time. He also criticised PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi for calling a disqualified man his prime minister, terming it ‘joke of the year’.
He added that while the political parties were fighting over their own interests, no one was bothered about the plight of the poor.
