Reacting to the opposition parties’ demand for the mid-term elections in the country, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday said it was strange that those who supported completion of the full term during their own rule were now talking about mid-term elections.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader took to Twitter and wrote that the erstwhile rulers would now have to develop a habit of living without official resources for another four years. “Opposition parties found it difficult to remain out of power even for ten months,” she said, adding that they would have to live with it for another four years. She said that former rulers were behaving like ‘fish out of water’ while being in the opposition. “On what grounds are those leaders demanding mid-term elections,” she wondered, adding that they themselves were in favour of completion of constitutional tenures while in power.
