Both PML-N, PTI running away from polls, asserts PPP

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) spokesperson Faisal Karim Kundi claimed on Friday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were running away from the general elections.

Expressing his thoughts in Islamabad, Kundi said: “We want timely elections in the country, irrespective of the fact, whether there exists a level playing field or not. Why not have the election schedule announced if the ordinance can be issued at night?”

He maintained: “Will the role of the Election Commission of Pakistan have to be performed by the Supreme Court (SC)? It has been proven that the PML-N and PTI are on the same page. It is up to the masses to decide the country’s fate.”
