PESHAWAR: Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on Saturday accused the interim government and the Election Commission of Pakistan, and said elections results would not be acceptable under the current law and order situation.

Speaking at a press conference at the Bacha Khan centre in Peshawar, the former provincial minister severely criticised the caretaker government and the ECP.

Hussain said that the administration and the ECP had completely failed, and had been unable to deliver a security plan since the past one and a half months.

The Awami National Party (ANP) leader said that his party candidates were being targeted.

“If there are no election candidates left, then who will they provide security to on Election Day?” remarked Hussain.

He said that the ANP were being stopped from electioneering to pave the way for the terrorists and their accomplices.

Hussain said that he was unable to visit his own constituency due to security threats.
