Siraj Opposes Imran’s Early Election Demand

Lahore (September 25, 2017): Just a day after Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s demand for holding of early elections, his ally Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Chief Senator Sirajul Haq apparently opposed the demand and asserted that the government should be allowed to complete its tenure.

The JI chief, talking to media after party’s executive council meeting, said that it was his party’s stance so far and there was need for a national consensus on the timing of the next General Election. He explained that it was not a single party’s decision to make.

“In order to save and strengthen the democracy, you [PM Shahid Abbasi] should move towards elections,” he had demanded. “Seek the people’s mandate.”
