ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan chief Sirajul Haq has said that the Election Commission of Pakistan’s move to postpone the Punjab polls is unconstitutional.
Speaking to media representatives on Friday, he asserted that the ECP lacked the power to postpone the polls following deliberations with several institutions.
To reach agreement on the national elections, he requested that the ECP meet with the political parties. He asserted that a free and fair election process must be provided for the populace to choose their representatives.
The JI chief said the fight between the PDM and the PTI took the country to a closed alley and if the clash continued its consequences could be dangerous.
The fight among the ruling parties, he said, could derail the already fragile democracy. Sanity must prevail and the political leadership should at least agree on a minimum agenda.
Haq said the unity government of the PDM and the PPP failed to provide relief to the masses, continuing the policies of the PTI.
