Former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said on Sunday if Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will pour onto the streets for his party’s election campaign, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) will face mounting pressure. Speaking to media, Mr Elahi said, “The stage for by-elections in Punjab has been set as the Lahore High Court (LHC) gave a ruling in this regard as per the constitution and law.” He urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to announce the schedule of elections immediately.
Criticising the incumbent government over the “ballooning inflation,” Mr Elahi said, “The masses will take revenge of all the injustices from the PDM in the elections.” Continuing to take a dig at the PDM-led government, Mr Elahi said, “The government has made no contributions for the sake of the masses’ wellbeing, rather it has taken the country to the quagmire.”
