Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Minister for Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain said if opposition parties feel the need for an early election is an appropriate step in the given time, then they should contact the parliament with a unanimous proposal.
“Political parties without representation in parliament and provincial assemblies want the government dismissed but their dream would not be fulfilled” he remarked while briefing the journalist at Bacha Khan Markaz Peshawar on Thursday. He hoped that the Senate election will be held on time and opposition parties will play a positive role to allow the government to complete its tenure.
About the Prime Minister’s (PM) decision to appear before the Supreme Court (SC), he said that Awami National Party appreciates the PM’s decision which strengthened institutions. He appreciated the role of Pakistan army for supporting the fragile democratic system and not interfering to derail democracy. He said the constitution has specified the limits of each organ of state and if these limits were followed, no clash between institutions was possible.
He said the independent media had made the government responsible to people and acted as a watchdog. He said before it came into play dictators were endorsed by state run television channels but no it was different.
He said the ANP will hold a public gathering in Tehmash Stadium on 26 January and hoped the media would cover it well.
