ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - President Dr Arif Alvi Thursday urged the political parties to evolve consensus on the holding of early elections. “There will be no issue if elections were held a few months before the scheduled time,” he said.
The second tier of political parties should sit together if the top leadership could not hold talks due to any reason, he added. Ways should be found to reduce political instability in the country, he said.
Arif Alvi said that the people were concerned about the political instability, he said, adding egos should be put aside in the country’s interest and leadership of the political parties should resolve issues.
President Alvi said only political stability could bring in foreign investment and ensure the implementation of the International Monetary Fund agreement.
President Alvi said he was optimistic that the leadership of parties would be able to find a solution to the political issues. “I think I will be successful in helping the parties find solution to the issues.”
