MULTAN: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi expressed concerns about lack of involvement of his party in consultation process for election reforms, despite being significant stakeholder. During media talk here, Qureshi commented on vagueness of Section 9 of Election Act 2017. Qureshi criticised ruling coalition party, PML-N, stating that they were plagued by instability. He also mentioned that PTI Chairman had received relief from courts, despite government allegedly fabricating cases against him.

Qureshi discussed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's announcement to dissolve assembly before its stipulated date. Prime Minister had stated that his government would complete its tenure early, paving way for an interim government.

Qureshi speculated that government might be inclined towards 90-day elections to buy more time. However, he emphasised that election date would be determined by Election Commission.

Referring to recent meetings between coalition partners PPP and PML-N in Dubai, Qureshi stated that details of these discussions were not widely known. He mentioned subsequent meeting between PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PM Shehbaz in Lahore, where they likely discussed important matters, including economic challenges and upcoming general elections.

Qureshi indicated that decisions made in Dubai had been sealed during session in Lahore but only time would reveal outcome of these discussions.
