Ahsan Iqbal said that the proceedings of the accountability court should be aired on TV.

“Today, again, I have appeared in the false case of Narowal Sports City. The Pakistani nation has seen that even after 3 years, there is no concrete case. The people are sitting in the government and the national planners are going round the courts.”

He said that he condemned the statements of the Federal Minister of Information, Fawad Chaudhry who tried to intimidate the Election Commission and added that it should be an independent and sovereign body.

“PTI is introducing electronic machine machines (EVMs) for fear of losing the next elections and the government wants to dismantle the Election Commission. It wants to make arbitrary amendments.”
