ISLAMABAD, June 30: Reacting on opposition parties’ demand for the mid-term elections in the country, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan has said it is strange that those supported completion of the full term during their own rule are now talking about mid-term elections.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader took to Twitter and wrote the erstwhile rulers will now have to develop a habit of living
without the official resources for another four years.
“Opposition parties found it difficult to remain out of power even for ten months, but they would have remained without it for four more years,” she tweeted.
She said that former leaders are behaving like ‘fish out of water’ while being in the opposition.
“On what grounds are those leaders demanding mid-term elections who were in favor of completion of constitutional tenure while they themselves were in power. These people cannot live without being in government for ten months,” she said.
On Saturday, Firdous Ashiq Awan had termed the passage of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) first federal budget in the National Assembly the opposition’s defeat.
“The government will take every step in the interest of the country as well as the nation. The opposition will face defeat on every front,” she had said in a Tweeter statement.-DNA
