ISLAMABAD March 17: A Pakistan Muslim League (QA) team, led by its Secretary-General Gohar Ayub Khan, met the visiting European Union pre-polls observers’ delegation here at party secretariat on Sunday.

Ijazul Haq, Sarwar Cheema, Majeed Malik, Neelofar Bakhtiar, Azeem Chaudhry and Yahya Munawar were also included in the team.

The leaguers informed the observers that the military government was determined to hold the general election in October. Preparations for the polls, so far, could neither be described as satisfactory nor there was any thing wrong to point out at this stage, they added.

They, however, voiced their concern against the condition of graduation for election contestants, and told the EU delegation that 98.2 per cent of the country’s population was not graduate, and would stand disqualified for the polls.
