LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has said that there is a need for a fresh mandate to run the affairs of the country as no improvement could be brought in a year left for the completion of the ongoing term.
The remarks came a day after Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader and Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervaiz Elahi said that it has been agreed that the incumbent assemblies should complete their tenure.
While rejecting Elahi’s condition for extending support to the joint opposition, Saad Rafique while talking to media after a hearing into the Paragon scandal case said that the country could not be ruled with the existing mandate.
He said that only a year and a month were left for the completion of the tenure and no one could bring improvement after what Imran Khan had done to that country in such a short span. “We want immediate elections in the country,” he added.
On Sunday, Pakistan Muslim League Quaid top leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi said that PML-Q took the final decision and the country’s assemblies will complete its term.
