“Let elections take place and lay the foundation for good thinking,” says PTI president
ISLAMABAD: Former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi on Thursday warned that the country would face a historical crisis if free and fair general elections were not held.
“Let the elections take place and lay the foundation for good thinking as it will ensure a good future for the poor,” Elahi, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) president, said while talking to the media in Islamabad.
To a query about a level-playing field in the polls, Elahi — who is behind bars — said what about the “levels” when there’s “no field”. To another query, he said he backs Barrister Gohar Khan as PTI’s chairman.
