Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) core committee has demanded President DrArifAlvi to announce election date without a delay and unanimously passed a resolution during a session.
The PTI core committee members said that the country is facing constitutional, political, democratic, administrative and economic crises as the state infrastructure was shaken after the ‘unconstitutional move’ of April 2022.
The committee said that the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) assemblies had been dissolved on January 14 and 18 respectively but the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government did not fulfil its constitutional duty to organise polls in 90 days besides violating the Supreme Court’s April 4 order.
The political party urged for concrete steps to establish a democratic government to resolve the crisis.
The PTI core committee said that Article 48 bounds the president to finalise the election date in 90 days and the president should fulfil his constitutional duty.
The core committee said that the president would be responsible for violating constitutional and democratic rights if he failed to give election date.—INP
