Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar on Thursday called for a grand national dialogue among all stakeholders, including politicians, to bring down political heat and hold simultaneous elections for national and provincial assemblies.
“If Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan wants to hold grand political dialogue we are ready,” he said addressing a press conference. The law minister lamented that during the four-year tenure of the PTI, they did not try to mend relations with the opposition. “Imran Khan should send two people from his side while two people from the coalition government will sit together to discuss things,” he said.
The Pakistan Muslim League-N leader mentioned that Pakistan is facing serious economic and security challenges as well as political up heavals, which require unanimous views among all the stakeholders, especially the political parties.
He said the democratic process is successfully continuing in the country and “we should refrain from paving way for any undemocratic third option”.
Commenting on the elections dilemma, he said that the simultaneous election for the national and four provincial assemblies is the only viable option to bring political and economic stability to the country.
