Shares
Worried Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar stated that there is no conspiracy against any political party, including PTI, to prevent them from participating in the elections. Has PTI been declared ineligible to contest elections? Some PTI workers or leaders are currently in jail due to the events of May 9th, and they cannot be released. The establishment of a caretaker government will be in accordance with the constitution and the law.
They said that in the current situation, we have a responsible government that is taking everyone along. It is not as if one party is governing in the provinces and another in the federal government. Political and economic decisions are being made in the national interest, not based on personal preferences.
We have no program to prolong power; comparisons regarding elections should come to an end. The authority to set the election date lies with the Election Commission, which has been granted the power to conduct elections by the Parliament.
Nawaz Sharif's case is in the courts; we do not know about his return. Nawaz Sharif has served as the Prime Minister of the country three times; he can certainly return to Pakistan if the law allows it. All citizens are equal under the law, and their treatment will be in accordance with the law.
There is no conspiracy against any political party. Elections are approaching, so complaints regarding elections, including PTI, will come from all parties. Has PTI been declared ineligible to contest elections? Are there any objections to their specific electoral facilities?
Their workers or leaders who are in jail are there for a reason; May 9th was a day of protests and arrests; national and international media have shown it. We cannot release everyone; the roles of May 9th will be dealt with in accordance with the law. PTI, as a party, is not facing any conspiracy; we will not back down in establishing the rule of law.
Economic measures are being taken for the betterment of the economy; economic recovery is our priority. They said that Kashmir is an integral part of our body; the dream of completing Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir. India should not mix politics with sports; we will not score points like India.
