"There is no question of mid-term elections," Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif assured a delegation of Parliamentarians and office-bearers of Pakistan Muslim League-N, here on Sunday. Rejecting demands of PTI Chief Imran Khan, Shahbaz Sharif said Imran Khan was a supporter of dialogue with those elements who killed thousands of innocent Pakistanis and were bent upon destroying the country but he was not ready to negotiate with a democratically-elected government. It shows a big contradiction between his words and deeds, he added.
He said, "Imran Khan has not been able to prove himself a good politician or a good sportsman". International observers declared general elections of 2013 as the most transparent and fair in the history of Pakistan, he said.
He said, "There is only one constitutional method of change of the government in Pakistan and that is through elections. He said, in fact, Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership wants to hide its worst performance in KPK through protest and long march. The chief minister said that politics means selfless service to the people but those who are talking about long march and so-called revolution have no interest in the solution of people's problems.
He said, "It is not wise to celebrate Independence Day as a day of protest as it is the day of realisation of dreams and renewal of pledge. Pakistan was not achieved through any long march but it came into being as a result of struggle and sacrifices of the forefathers of the nation. People of Pakistan will foil every such long march as is aimed at hindering the process of development and progress, he added. He said the enlightened and patriotic people of Pakistan will foil every negative activity which hampers the process of progress and prosperity. Imran Khan rang him and congratulated him on winning the elections but now he is raising hue and cry about rigging.
