The leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, requested on Tuesday that the Supreme Court call the Election Commission of Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar, and other officials to give an explanation for their statements regarding the delay in the elections.

The PPP leader told reporters at the Lahore High Court that “PM Shehbaz, Sanaullah, and Tarar will be responsible if the elections are not conducted within the given timeframe.”

Who are they to conduct the polls when the Supreme Court has ordered that they take place on May 14?, Aitzaz questioned.

If they acknowledge to not following the court’s order, the top court should call them and punish them with contempt proceedings, he insisted.

He continued that questions about the PM’s choice should be raised because the PM himself disobeyed the court’s injunction.

According to Aitzaz, anyone who disobeyed the Supreme Court’s order should be barred for five years.

Imran was nothing, but the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), via its poor judgment in general and the filing of lawsuits in particular, helped him become a popular leader among the public.

In his words, “It is astonishing how the PDM worked out a formula to make Imran Khan undefeatable in elections by constituting more than hundred cases against him.”

If nothing changed and the political parties continued to act in a way that served their own interests rather than upholding the Constitution, he believed that the nation would face enormous challenges in the future.
