Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain said on Thursday the government had come to power through a democratic process and it should therefore complete its five-year term.
Hussian said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had clearly said that it was not in favour of mid-term elections, adding that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were the two major political parties of the country and it was important for both to act in accordance with the constitution. He said PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif’s statement that no institution should remove the present government unconstitutionally showed that he was against any unconstitutional act which would derail democracy. Hussain said Nawaz’s demand of mid-term elections was not appropriate, adding that Nawaz had become the prime minister twice and was aware of the country’s politics. He said the country was passing through a critical stage of history, which required the nation to act in a responsible manner.
Government should complete its tenure, says Iftikhar Hussain
