All political parties unanimously want the elections as early as possible, Shehbaz continued.


Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said he would write to President Dr. Arif Alvi for dissolution of the National Assembly on Wednesday (today).
In an interview with a private news channel, he said: “As per law, if the President did not take up the summary within 48 hours, it would stand implemented and the Assembly would be dissolved”.
Regarding the caretaker set-up, the Prime Minister stated consultations are underway with coalition parties to agree on a neutral interim Prime Minister, who would be acceptable to the people.
He added: “The decision would be a collective one and after finalizing the names, he would hold the first meeting with Opposition Leader Raja Riaz”.
All political parties unanimously want the elections as early as possible and any delay in polls at this point is just an assumption, Shehbaz continued.
About civil-military relations, he stressed the need for a balanced and an inclusive approach. The premier called for all national institutions to cooperate with each other but by observing their constitutional limits.
