Caretaker PM calls for addressing electoral concerns through legal channels

Islamabad: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has asked parties and individuals, who harbor any concerns regarding electoral irregularities, to pursue legal recourse through the available channels.

Taking to X, the PM office said Pakistan's legislative, judicial, and executive branches are resilient and stand ready to deliver impartial justice to all.

The Prime Minister said recently-conducted General Elections in the country has been a step towards promoting democracy. He said significant turnout from all segments of society, including both genders, has been acknowledged internationally.

Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar further said it is imperative that all stakeholders realize that victory and defeat are inherent aspects of democratic processes.

He said peaceful protest and assembly are fundamental rights, but any form of agitation, violence or incitement for vigilantism will not be condoned and law would take its course without any hesitation.

He said anarchy and disorder will not be tolerated at this crucial time.

The Prime Minister said this only serves to advance the agenda for hostile forces, both domestic and foreign, to exploit and create grave law and order challenges.

He said caretaker government implores patience, as political parties engage in consultations to form governments at both the federal and provincial levels, in accordance with democratic traditions and norms.

The Prime Minister expressed hope that this process will conclude as early as possible with mutual understanding and respect.
