 Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Marriyum Aurangzeb made it clear on Friday that her party was ready for the general elections on February 8.

Expressing his thoughts, Marriyum said: “The political parties are depending on the PML-N’s preparations for the general elections.” “Those who led the country towards political instability cannot be forgiven. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is staging a conspiracy in a bid to halt the elections in the country,” she said. She stated: “The Election Commission Pakistan was having its preparations for holding the elections, but everything had happened to sabotage the elections in the country.”

PPP

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) spokesperson Faisal Karim Kundi claimed on Friday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were running away from the general elections.

Expressing his thoughts in Islamabad, Kundi said: “We want timely elections in the country, irrespective of the fact, whether there exists a level playing field or not. Why not have the election schedule announced if the ordinance can be issued at night?”

He maintained: “Will the role of the Election Commission of Pakistan have to be performed by the Supreme Court (SC)? It has been proven that the PML-N and PTI are on the same page. It is up to the masses to decide the country’s fate.” “The officers had been removed and hired on the instructions of the PML-N in Punjab. The transfers and postings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) had been done on the instructions of Pervez Khattak,” Kundi said.

JUI-F

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Hafiz Hamdullah said on Friday that his party was ready for the general elections on February 8.

Expressing his thoughts, Hamdullah questioned: “What is the need for creating doubts in holding the elections? The decision regarding the elections had already been made.”

He took a jibe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, “The PTI has a negative role to play in this regard. The PTI wants to get some time ahead of the general elections. The PTI’s politics revolve around hypocrisy.”

“Maulana Fazlur Rehman wants the supremacy of the parliament even today. We are ready to uphold the constitution and democracy and lead the country towards political stability,” Hamdullah said.

IPP

Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) spokesperson Firdous Ashiq Awan blamed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday for “resorting to delaying tactics” in the general elections.

Expressing his thoughts in Lahore, Firdous said: “The judiciary had expressed its reservations in this regard. We did not want to hurl allegations at anyone else.”

“Which party had delayed the programme of training in line with the elections?” Awan said.
