Caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi has said the country will be handed over to an elected government in a much better state than it was in previously.

According to PTV News, he made the remarks while addressing a seminar organised by the Press Information Department.

“It is written in the preamble of the Constitution of Pakistan that this country will be run by its elected representatives,” he said. “Elected representatives come through elections. Despite all the speculations, we stuck to our position,” he said.

Talking about the rights of minorities, Solangi stressed that Pakistan will have to give equal rights to them, saying that they had a huge share in “our great achievements”.

“The minority community is playing an active role in the health and education system,” he added.

Solangi hoped that the future government would focus on the basic problems of the country. “No country is strong without economic security and strength,” he concluded.
