PPP allies gang up on poll security
ISLAMABAD: Election Commission is coming under intense pressure from MQM, ANP and PML-Q for not ensuring peaceful elections.
All the coalition partners of the recent PPP government seems to have decided to take a stand on country’s worsening law and order situation which is hindering them from running their election campaign. “Aim is to expose the incompetence of caretakers and ECP,” revealed party affiliates. These parties are taking offence over the news of Punjab Caretaker CM holding property survey and caretaker PM looking after the job vacancies for his home province.
Caretakers and Election Commission, however, believe that owing to their previous government’s progress, they have landed themselves into this situation. However, both agree that law and order situation is a cause of serious concern for them for which they have been trying to wake up provincial caretaker governments to at least submit a security plan with the ECP. So far, no provincial government has submitted any security plan, that’s why controversial Interior Minister Habib Malik had to be sent to Karachi and announce a security plan for elections just to sooth some nerves, revealed sources.
MQM, on the other hand has hinted at joining hands with Tahirul Qadri’s propogation that elections should be delayed.
Farooq Sattar, the central leader of the party was open to say that his party was being pushed against the wall by extremist elements. “Unfortunately, those who claimed to hold free and fair elections are silent over all this,” he lamented while hinting at Election Commission without hinting at it.
Another former ally of PPP, PML-Q’s chief Chaudhry Shujaat had already raised objections over caretaker interior minister while ANP had submitted two adjournment motions against partisanship of caretakers in the Senate last week.
