India TV News  

Nearly two days after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced that his tenure would end on August 13, 2023, he announced that his government would hand over the power to a caretaker setup before the completion of its tenure next month, indicating the National Assembly is going to be dissolved days before the completion of its tenure to pace the general election in November. "Zardari in a meeting with PM Shehbaz on Saturday asked him to dissolve the National Assembly a couple of days before the government completes its tenure so that elections can be held in November," a senior PPP leader told PTI on Sunday. Shehbaz regrets neighbouring nations made greater progress Earlier last week, while addressing an event in Islamabad, the Prime Minister acknowledged the current situation was not in the favour of the country and speculated uncertainty regarding the timing of the polls. The prime minister said he would be "grateful" to China for rolling over $5 billion in loans to Pakistan in the last three months “when we were in need.” Also Read: Pakistan PM Shehbaz regrets neighbouring nations made greater progress as his tenure set to end on August 14
