Fazlur Rehman demands immediate elections in Pakistan

The PDM chief said that its time for all the political parties to go for general elections and seek a fresh mandate.

“There is a limit to political expediency. We don’t think there is any need to unnecessarily prolong stay at the office,” said Fazl.

The JUI-F chief’s statement comes at a time when Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is finding hard to form the new federal cabinet.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is busy negotiating with the coalition partners to give them proper representation in the new setup formed after the ouster of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government.
