  • Saad Rafiq said KP and Punjab assemblies dissolved without any reason.

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.
