ISLAMABAD: The Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that issues relating to elections could be resolved through talks but government has ill intentions.
Talking to media persons here on Monday on his arrival at Islamabad High Court, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said curbs on media could not hide facts, adding that his party had high hopes about elections.
“We are hopeful and constitution clearly tells when the elections will be held. The excuse which is being advanced, is a lame one,” the PTI leader said.
He said government had no resources for elections but it had funds for PSL and for the force being deployed at the time of Imran Khan’s attendance at court.
He expressed hoped that court would protect the constitution. “We stand by the superior judiciary. Our workers were arrested in Punjab. As many as 2,000 PTI supporters were arrested. Idol of the fear has been broken,” he maintained.

Shah Mahmood while condemning the statement by Rana Sanaullah, said such statements had resulted in the disintegration of Pakistan.
The PTI leader said that his party was not avoiding negotiations but government had a malafide intention behind its offer. “On one side the government was talking about negotiations but on the other side it was arresting PTI workers,” he maintained.
He said government and PTI could sit together and talk about elections, country was experiencing political instability. Qureshi said Ishaq Dar’s statement in Senate had created frenzy among people.
