He said the federal government had made nominations in a special parliamentary committee for making amendments to the election laws.
"If PTI chief Imran Khan
... aka
Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
is serious about electoral reforms, why is he not nominating his assembly members for this purpose?" he asked.
In the same go, he stressed, Imran Khan should display political maturity as 7.6 million voters had expressed their confidence in him in general elections to play his due role in the assemblies.
He said those making claims of bringing about a revolution in a few weeks, in fact, wanted to hoodwink the people and they were trying to sabotage the development in the country.
