Can Pakistan Afford to Hold Elections? Defence Minister Khawaja Asif's Shocker Amid Economic Crisis

News 18  

Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the country’s finance ministry has no funds for elections. According to a report in ARY News, Khawaja Asif criticised former Prime Minister Imran Khan saying his assassination attempt allegation was a lie. Asif said Imran Khan extended the tenure of former army chief General retired Qamar Javaid Bajwa and he is now blaming him. Pakistan’s top election body on Thursday delayed assembly polls in the politically crucial Punjab province by more than five months citing deteriorating security situation in the cash-starved country.
