In a recent interview, Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party stated that if the general elections are not held on May 14th, 2023, then the constitution of Pakistan will be torn apart.
“National assemblies should be dissolved immediately”
On the unusual delay, Imran Khan said that the only way forward in negotiating with the coalition government is if the national assemblies will be dissolved. Khan’s statement comes amidst growing concerns about the current government’s ability to hold free and fair elections.
“I have told Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Fawad Chaudhry to only go forward with the talks if the government is willing to dissolve the assembly immediately and hold elections. There is no need to hold a further round of talks if the government is going to repeat the same talk of holding elections in September or October”, emphasized Imran Khan on holding the elections next month.
Fair and free elections is everyone’s right
Imran Khan’s warning is significant, as it highlights the importance of holding timely and transparent elections in Pakistan. The constitution of Pakistan guarantees the right to vote and fair representation to all citizens and any attempt to violate this fundamental right can have serious repercussions.
The PTI chairman’s comments also underscore the need for political stability in Pakistan. Frequent disruptions to the democratic process can lead to political instability which in turn can have negative consequences for the country’s economic growth and social development.
