RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said nation was looking towards Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for decision on upcoming general elections as there were no concrete indications that they will happen on time.
Taking to twitter, former Interior Minister said with just four weeks left for completion of assembly's tenure, uncertainty hung heavy over elections. Public was confused whether elections would be held on time or not.
He said that government had done nothing in past fifteen months that it would face public. Slamming government for record inflation, he said. "Those who buy flour wheat, pay bills, school fees of children and rent for house are fed up with government and expressed their hatred openly".
People were just waiting for elections to get rid of current government through vote, Ahmed said while lamenting that court orders were being defied. He slammed restrictions on media.
AML Chief said political workers were being treated like terrorists as dignity of anyone was not safe, adding that ruling coalition was unable to understand public feelings. He warned of public outburst, saying no one will be able to control it.
Those who raise slogan for sanctity of vote have humiliated innocent voters, he said, adding that people were abducted from their houses and their voices are unheard. He said "Only one press conference can clear you in all matters".
