Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Saturday said emergency situation posed by Pakistan Muslim League -N was ended after the arrival of Nawaz Sharif in London.
In a tweet, she said PML-N was trying to sabotage the democratic process in the country.
She said new elections would definitely be held but after the completion of the five-year constitutional term.
Pointing out the Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman’s statement about the parliament, Dr Firdous lamented that terming the parliament as fake was unfair when Maulana’s son and other leaders were also sitting in this Parliament.
She said, ‘We are moving in the light of Maulana’s previous parliamentary speeches as he used to say that the parliament had to complete its constitutional term’.
Dr Firdous said that the issue of extension in the tenure of the army chief is of national interest. While addressing the media, Firdous added that legislation on the extension would be made with consensus of all political parties in Parliament and the prime minister has constituted a committee to contact the opposition leaders for developing consensus over the issue.
