Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz finance secretary Muhammad Pervaiz Malik has said that delaying the general elections will prove dangerous. He told his party workers that the decision to put off the polls was taken without taking the mainstream political parties of the country into confidence.
He said whether the elections would be held on February 18, the last nail in the political coffin of the PML-Q had been riveted. "Though the elections have been delayed but the PML-N will continue as before," he said. "Anyhow, we act according to the lines of the PML-N direction and what the party will decide about the election campaign in the upcoming days, we will follow it with true letter and spirit."
He said if the government believed that the masses would forget the government's highhandedness, like the suspension of their fundamental rights, the price-hike and the cold-blooded killing of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto after the delay of 40 days, it would be just a false complacence. He said the government was scared from Nawaz Sharif and believed that if the elections were held, the PML-N would make a clean sweep.
