Next polls to be held as per schedule: Firdous

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Saturday said emergency situation painted by the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) was ended after the arrival of Nawaz Sharif in London.

In a tweet, Dr Firdous said: "The PML-N was trying to sabotage the democratic process in the country." She said new elections would definitely be held but after the completion of the five-year constitutional term.

Pointing out the Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman's statement about the parliament, Dr Firdous lamented that terming the parliament as fake was unfair when Maulana's son and other leaders were sitting in there. She said, "We are moving in the light of Maulana's previous parliamentary speeches as he used to say that the parliament had to complete its constitutional term."
