PPP Presidential candidate Raza Rabbani flanked by other PPP leaders including Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah, Qamar Zaman Kaira, Makhdoom Amin Faheem, and Aitzaz Ahsan addressed a press conference in Islamabad following the election commission’s announcement of a revised schedule for the presidential poll. Rabbani said that the Supreme Court’s order was an attempt to render the presidential poll as meaningless. He further said that the apex court had taken a one-sided decision without listening to the viewpoint of all stakeholders and only the viewpoint of the Pakistan Muslim league – Nawaz (PML-N) was catered to. The senior PPP leader also said that the electoral college would have been incomplete even if the poll was held on the previously announced date of Aug 6. He also said that despite of being a candidate yet he did not receive any notification regarding a change in the election schedule and then questioned if it was possible for a candidate from a middle-class background to campaign in Karachi, Lahore, Quetta and Peshawar within two days. Speaking on the occasion Aitzaz Ahsan said that the change in the election schedule had affected the PPP’s presidential campaign. Ahsan further said that if all the decision were to be decided by the court then the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Federal Interior Ministry should be disbanded. Source : Dawn News
