Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Friday the PPP had created a stir in politics by demanding that elections should be held within 90 days.
In his statement on social media website X (formerly Twitter), Rashid said a declaration of the two-hour long meeting between the chief election commissioner and the chief justice of the Supreme Court was not issued, but the Election Commission said the general election would not be held within 90 days and these would be held next year.
He said the PPP had created a stir in politics by demanding elections within 90 days.
Rashid said it seemed that only the PML-N would favour delay in elections. All other parties would unite to demand elections within 90 days and for that purpose, they would move the Supreme Court as well, he said. The former federal minister said he did not know anyone, except Sarfraz Bugti, in the caretaker cabinet and the caretakers were there only to oversee the elections. They had no mandate to make long-term policy decisions.—INP
