ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: An agreement would be reached between the federal government and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on formation of judicial commission to probe alleged rigging in 2013 general elections and all other matters soon.
This was stated by the Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms Ahsan Iqbal while talking to media after launch of national “Annual Statues of Education Report Pakistan-2014” in Islamabad on Thursday.
The minister said that the government is committed to forming judicial commission proposed by the PTI.
The two sides have held a few rounds of talks to resolve their differences over the proposed judicial commission but they are yet unable to reach a consensus.
On Tuesday in a press conference in Islamabad, the PTI Chairman Imran Khan set January 18 as the deadline for the federal government to form a judicial commission to probe the alleged rigging in 2013 general elections.
Imran Khan said that the PTI will resume its agitation if the ruling party fails to meet its demand for a judicial commission.
“I request the government once again to constitute an empowered judicial commission. Otherwise, I will be left with no other option but to resume my protest,” the PTI chief said.
The PTI chief said that his party’s future course of action will be announced on January 18.
