Vehemently criticising the PDM government over delay in holding election, Awami Muslim League chief and former federal interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Friday that Dar would ruin negotiations, constitution and law just as he destroyed economy.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote that the negotiators had to decide dates for dissolution of assemblies and elections. “How will those who did not agree to hold elections in years accede to the demand in three days,” he questioned.
Sheikh Rashid said [former president] Asif Zardari had his own agenda; Fazlur Rehman’s obstinacy [on dialogues with the PTI] would dig a political grave.
The former minister said the Constitution would prevail and the situation would be clear by the first week of May whether the decisions of the judiciary would be implemented or not.
Using foul language against Supreme Court judges in parliament was tantamount to subverting the Constitution and political death, he added.
Elections would surely be held and rule of law would be established, he continued.
Sheikh Rashid said the failure of the negotiations would prove that the government was using delaying tactics in holding elections and their mala fide. The government was embarrassed and refused to acknowledge three judges of the Supreme Court soon after taking oath, he maintained.—NNI
