KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Vice-Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi has claimed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is divided over early elections while the Pakistan People Party (PPP) is not in favor of fresh elections.
Talking on a TV program, the former foreign minister said that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) is itself divided over the issue of new elections. The PPP wants PML-N to complete the remaining tenure of the assembly so that their public support drops, he added.
It is Asif Ali Zardari’s plan to make PML-N rule for the rest of the tenure so that their popular support decreases, he claimed.
Shah Mehmood said that the government is under enormous pressure and is unable to make any decisions. PML-N and PPP leaders cannot even leave their homes and go into the public, he added. PPP leaders cannot go out even in areas of Sindh, he claimed.
If timely decisions are not made then we are not far from what’s currently happening in Sri Lanka, he warned. The people have forgiven Imran Khan and PTI for whatever mistakes they made during their term and have stood with them, he added.
Shah Mehmood said that people are coming to their public gatherings on their own and they have set the tone for a new election in the country.
