PPP leader Faisal Karim Kundi said that there was no difference the statements of Bilawal Bhutto party Chairman and Asif Ali Zardari former President a day after they expressed totally opposite points of views on issue of elections.

In statement, Kundi said it was mentioned in Constitution that delimitation would be carried out if number of constituencies was to be increased.

Process wasn't much time-consuming, he added and questioned why Election Commission of Pakistan wanted to drag same till November.

Kundi expressed his suspicion that general elections schedule might not be held even in December. "You are not giving election date and are silent. Then what does it mean?" he questioned.

He said that entire party was united and consultations would be held on elections issue during CEC meeting scheduled to be held in Lahore next week.

Earlier in day, Zardari had said it was obligatory for ECP to carry out delimitation after census. At same time, Zardari said that country's top electoral body must hold polls according to Constitution in marked contrast to Bilawal's earlier statement in which had demanded announcement of general election date.
