Elections should be held simultaneously in Pakistan: Saad Rafiq

February 7, 2023 by Abid Khan

He said separate elections will create further division.
He said PML-N fought the elections even in the worst conditions.
Saad Rafiq said KP and Punjab assemblies dissolved without any reason.

LAHORE: Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafiq has said that it is his personal opinion that elections should be held simultaneously across the country because separate elections will lead to further division.

Federal Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq while talking to the media in Lahore said that the observance of the constitution is in place but elections have been postponed on different occasions in this country.

He said that the purpose of delaying the elections is not that PML-N wants to run away from the elections, while PML-N fought the elections even in the worst conditions.

He further said that no party of PDM runs away from the election because these are old parties and have contested the election many times in which they keep winning but losing but the country cannot be subjected to any more crisis.

The federal minister said, “If accept the demand of next general election than they would start demanding the removal of election commission while that institution is created under the constitution which is protected by the constitution.”

He said that this is the nature of Imran Khan, if one thing is accepted, he puts forward another demand, if another is accepted, another demand comes forward.

He said that elections should be held in the country at one time, it is not a game and the second thing is that the constitution has given the authority to the leader of the parliament that he can dissolve the assembly but it cannot be done by an individual without reason.

He said that the assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab were dissolved without any reason, which is being ordered by a person who has no constitutional status and his statement in this regard is on record.

Saad Rafiq wants a judicial investigation into the Ghotki train accident

June 7, 2021June 7, 2021 by Raba Noor

Khawaja Saad Rafiq, PML-N leader, and former Railways Minister has demanded a judicial investigation into a train accident in Ghotki that killed at least 42 passengers and injured more than 100 others.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday in response to the government’s criticism, Saad Rafiq stated that the government had reduced the railway development budget by 60%. He claimed that no one was responsible for the restoration and upkeep of railway tracks. He stated that the PML-N government’s priority was the Ghotki track project.

Despite the passage of three years, he stated that the project had not yet begun. He claimed that federal ministers were criticizing him, which he described as a heinous act. During the PML-N government, he claimed, they were asked to resign due to such an incident.

The PTI government has destroyed railways like the other national institutions, he said. “The situation of railways is bad now. Even if you ask me to make it right, I will not touch it,” he said.

Responding to a question about his NAB cases, he said, “We do not change our ideology and that’s why our issues could not be resolved. But I am not afraid of anything, they can do whatever they want to do.”

He stated that he had heard that the Chinese side was hesitant to release funds for railway-related projects because they did not want to release funds to these incapable rulers. He stated that the railways in Pakistan are not a priority for this government.
