Author: inp

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Monday said that the caretaker government was progressing slowly on the electoral process .

“The caretaker government is progressing very slowly,” the PTI spokesperson said while addressing the media.

Stating that he had written a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) regarding the caretaker government’s progress, Chauhdry said, “The ECP did not listen to our reservations.”

“District administrators are still the same for Sindh and Punjab,” he lamented. The PTI leader continued, “Police were de-politicised in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and thus district administrators could not influence elections but in Sindh and Punjab loyalists had been appointed on the top slots.” Speaking about the ongoing references against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the PTI leader said, “Nawaz and his counsel are resorting to delay tactics.”

“Nawaz promised former chief justice of Pakistan Justice (r) Iftikhar Chaudhry that he would make him president but backtracked from his promise, resultantly the former CJP turned against Nawaz.”. The PTI leader said, “The entire world is familiar with Iftikhar Chaudhry’s character.”
