Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Punjab President Rana Sanaullah rejected any chance of alliance with Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) for the upcoming general elections.
Rana Sanaullah indicated that both PML-N and PPP could agree to a seat adjustment formula on a limited level but an electoral adjustment was highly unlikely.
The PML-N leader made this statement while talking to the reporters in Islamabad on Wednesday.
In reply to a question about the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Sanaullah affirmed that like any other political group, the PTI reserved the right to engage in politics. He however advised the PTI to distance itself from the elements associated with the May 9 events, underscoring the significance of exhibiting a responsible political demeanour.
To a question about Nawaz Sharif’s return and the cases against him, Sanaulah said that from the legal perspective, the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif had already ended and as far as his sentence was concerned, the cases brought against the former prime minister were quite weak.
Rana Sanaullah said Nawaz Sharif would be accorded a splendid welcome upon his return to the country on Oct 21.
He was of the view that it was the PPP’s right to critique his party which, according to him, was a calculated move and was in line with their electoral strategy.
Asked about the PPP’s concerns on the transfers and postings on a large scale ahead of the general elections, Sanaullah said these transfers and postings started after the commencement of the interim government and the notion that it was being done at someone’s behest was completely out of place.
In response to another question, Sanaullah said the elections would take place in the last week of January or in the first week of February according to the constitution.
He stated that the exercise of delimitations would conclude on Nov 30, after which the elections were quite certain.
