ISLAMABAD:Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday said the next general election would be announced by the government in consensus with all the allied parties.
Responding to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan’s announcement of long march and demand for snap polls, she said Imran Khan has no authority to dictate the dates of the next general election as it is the sole prerogative of the united government and its allied parties.
The Information Minister said Imran Khan’s announcement of the long march on Wednesday is a direct effort to sabotage Pakistan’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Earlier speaking to a news channel, Marriyum Aurangzeb said Imran Khan in his lust for power is triggering anarchy in the country.
