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.”

“The officers had been removed and hired on the instructions of the PML-N in Punjab. The transfers and postings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) had been done on the instructions of Pervez Khattak,” Kundi said.
