Controversial polls to push country towards anarchy: Rana Sanaullah

RAWALPINDI, April 5 (SABAH): Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Wednesday said that controversial polls will push country towards anarchy. He said that stubbornness of an individual was not acceptable at all.

Addressing a lawyers’ convention in Rawalpindi, Rana Sanaullah Khan said that attempts are underway to hold yet another ‘controversial’ election in the country. He further said that former prime minister and Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan was hell-bent upon pushing the country towards anarchy through his long-marches as well as through the people.

“Controversial elections will pave the way of destruction for Pakistan.” Rejecting the impression of running away from the elections, the minister said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is ready for the election and they are not afraid.

Rana Sanaullah said that Pakistan had already seen two ‘controversial’ elections and an attempt to hold Punjab elections, in the same way, will harm Pakistan.

Commenting on the verdict of the three-member bench of the Supreme Court, the minister claimed the top court judges are also ‘divided’ on the Punjab elections.

Rana Sanaullah said that elections would be certainly held but on time and added for this occurring all the stakeholders’ opinion and will was needed. If political parties, Election Commission and other institutions were not ready for holding elections then these could not be held, he added.
