LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Saturday that he was not ready to dissolve assemblies on March 19, as their term originally would end on April 8, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
Addressing to a press conference in Lahore this evening, CM Punjab said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party had no objection over same day elections of national and all provincial assemblies.
“Our party (PML-N) would like to hold elections in the entire country on the same day and for that there were few requirements that I candidly conveyed to the Prime Minister,” he said.
CM Punjab said all political parties must have be taken on board for finalization of caretaker set up in the country, adding that ten key parties must have be taken into confidence for Sindh set up.
Shahbaz emphasized that well-reputed persons should be appointed as caretaker prime minister and Chief Ministers with the consultation of all parties.
Meanwhile, he termed the appointment of caretaker chief minister in Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa as a good omen and said that the remaining caretaker chief ministers should also be appointed similarly.
