| The PML-Q and the JUI-F said on Wednesday that they accepted the Election Commission (EC)’s decision to delay the polls till February 18. JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said, “We should not oppose the poll delay decision if the EC is unable to hold the polls in the current circumstances.” He doubted the government’s intention to hold the elections on February 18. PML-Q Information Secretary Senator Tariq Azeem said they accepted the poll delay decision, adding that all political parties were ignoring the post-December 27 ground realties for political considerations. |
