Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has put forward its demand of mid-term elections openly when Khwaja Asif of PML-N said that mid-term elections should be held as the masses have become fed up of the present set up. Khwaja Asif was talking in Dunya News programme, Dunya Meray Aagay. Khwaja Asif also said that change has become inevitable as hopes for improvement have diminished. He said that PML-N wants the mid-term elections to be held in the country. He said that those who are proud of their mass popularity and vote bank should not get restless this demand as they could again get the mass support if there is any support for them. Khwaja Asif termed the present governments performance as extremely disappointing and hopeless. He advised the government to go to the public again to regain the mandate. Earlier the prime minister while responding to the opposition leaders remarks about mid-term elections said that no martial law is going to be imposed and neither would he (the PM) dissolve the assemblies. PML-Ns demand could affect present system: Kamil Ali Agha Senator of PML-Q Kamil Ali Agha has said that the demand of PML-N could affect the present democratic system. He also said that such demand should be made after brain storming and not as emotional demands. Kamil Ali Agha was of the view that such decisions could only be made in the party meetings. Mid-term polls could affect democracy: Mian Iftikhar The information minister of the KhyberPakhtunkhwa province Mian Iftikhar Hussain has said that the demand seems to be Khwaja Asifs personal thought and not the party stance of PML-N. He said that mid-term polls could affect democracy in the country. He also felt sure that Mian Nawaz Sharif would not be in support of this demand. We would not support any extra constitutional action: Liaqat Baloch Leader of Jamat-e Islami Liaqat Baloch has said that the Jamat would not support any extra constitutional move. He said that mid-terms could only be held when the assemblies are dissolved. Liaqat Baloch said that on one hand PPP and PML-N are in coalition government in Punjab and on the other hand this demand has been forwarded. He vowed not to support any extra constitutional action or step. PML-Ns desire would not be fulfilled: Faisal Abidi Leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Faisal Raza Abidi has responded on the demand by saying that this demand and desire of PML-N would not be fulfilled. These types of demands are not new for PPP, he added. He proudly prophesied PPPs success even in the next general polls.
