Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday finally demanded immediate general elections in the country, saying they were the only solution to the Pakistan’s crises at the national and international level.
Talking to a private TV channel, he said the solution to all problems lied in snap polls, saying the country was in deep turmoil and problems could only be overcome if elections were held immediately. After the dissolution of government, all the political parties should go to the people and the people should decide the future of Pakistan, he added.
Replying to a question, Nawaz said that holding snap polls were not a difficult job. “The prime minister of Pakistan could do it easily by issuing an order,” he said. “When the PML-N’s government was dismissed in 1993, the court restored it, but then the president continued creating problems and we went for fresh general elections,” he added. “I talked to President Asif Ali Zardari on the issue four months ago but my advice was not heeded,” he said. He said further that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) alone could not be blamed for disobedience of court orders because the PML-Quaid had connived with the PPP to disobey the court.
He added that it was the responsibility of the nation to stand up against the government and ensure that no one played with their mandate. On supporting the PPP, Nawaz said that his party tried working with the PPP initially but there was no substance to the relationship. Nawaz, however, strongly opposed the unconstitutional dismissal of the government.
ATT-NAWAZ SHARIF SAHIB
Too late to realize after all the damage has been done.Remain firm &do not vacillate and DO NOT make stupid statements as 'recent about 'India'.Do not trust MQM even if their friend Khawaja Sad Rafik Rafike plays their agents and stop believing Ishaq DAR FOR ANYTHING.FIND NEW advisers-consuls than 'chamchas' around u who havE let u down.Stop protecting your business empire and projects of Hamza SHARIF.EG,POULTRY farm which has let u badly down and ur party.Expose nakedly MQM,ANP,PPP-Zardari in Karachi target killings of thousands unconvicted,un prosecuted and bathakhori of billions of dollars.Recommend Karachi given over to Army for three months.DECIMATE MQM,ANP,PPPZ AND THEIR CORRUPTION DAY AND NIGHT.
I think PML-N needs to concentrate on Local Body Elections. All know that only collective efforts can get us out of the mess for which only Judiciary is responsible by validating all take overs as legal. If even snap elections are held the overall result will not change to bring a Big Change. These types of calls are always given by undemocratic forces. This time Mr. Nawaz Shrif knows that the "Angels" will not play any role at ballot boxes.
It was not long ago when Punjab Government took the plea that it was not possible to hold bye-elections in a couple of constituencies. Now Nawaz calls for national elections. He would be better advised to hold Punjab Local Body elections which are overdue and wait for 2013 when national elections will become due.

Polls without reforms in the electoral system would be futile. Same wine in new (not even so new) bottles will come up again. Proportionate representation system should be adopted before polls. A national government with one year mandate can do this with the help of the Supreme court.
