PM rules out possibility of delay in elections

Islamabad: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar ruled out the possibility of any delay in general elections.
In an interview with a private television channel, he said: “The polls would be announced and conducted on time and there is no possibility of delay in the elections”.
Reiterating the caretaker government’s resolve to hold free and fair elections, the Prime Minister said all registered political parties have legal and constitutional rights to canvass, mobilize people and attract public support.
However, he added the government would not be responsible if someone is legally barred from the political process.
Rubbishing the allegations of the caretaker government’s tilt towards Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), he stated: “The political parties usually create such impressions before the elections with a view to attract public support”.
Replying to a question, the Prime Minister continued that he is comfortable with the military leadership and the caretaker government has the final say in decision-making.
