Durrani rules out poll delay
ISLAMABAD March 6: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Muhammad Ali Durrani has ruled out any possibility of a delay in general elections and said that polls will be held on time and in accordance with the Constitution.
He was replying to reporters’ questions regarding a statement by Muttahida Qaumi Movement minister Babar Ghauri calling for postponement of the polls by one year. “There is complete unanimity of views between the Pakistan Muslim League leadership and the government and there is no confusion in this regard,” the minister said after the concluding ceremony of a training course for producers of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation at the PBC Academy here on Tuesday.
He said that PML president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain’s statement about the possibility of postponement of polls was part of an ‘intellectual debate’ which was based on ‘ifs and buts’.
