Description

Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has ruled out the possibility of early elections in the country, saying the Pakistan Democratic Movement's (PDM) coalition government in the Centre will complete its term.

"The government will complete its term. Elections will be held on its due time," the minister said speaking on Geo News programme 'Jirga' Sunday.

Brushing off rumours and pressure on the federal government following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's efforts to push the country towards the snap polls, Sadiq said that the government is only focused on improving the economy.

The PTI has been insisting the ruling coalition in Islamabad conduct the early elections with threats of dissolving the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies. The announcement by Khan on the dissolution of assemblies came during his address during his party Haqeeqi Azadi march in Rawalpindi last month, where he asked his supporters to halt their approach towards Islamabad.

Commenting on the former prime minister's ouster, Sadiq said that Khan was deposed in line with the Constitution.

"Imran Khan was removed in a constitutional manner. We are not employing his tactics. We could have done a lot if we did employ his strategies," he said.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader also questioned the former premier's criticism of the PDM's coalition government's economy.
