RAWALPINDI
\nAwami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid says amendments to boost powers of the caretaker government is making the election process doubtful right from the word go.
\nIn a statement on social media website Twitter, the AML chief said it was Nawaz Sharif\u2019s decision to nominate Ishaq Dar as caretaker prime minister so that he could rig elections and run affairs of the state according to his whims. He said the caretaker rule could be prolonged.
\nRashid claimed any amendment to Section 203 of the Constitution would prove disastrous for law, constitution and fair elections.
\n\u201cThe Pakistan Peoples Party is going to be befooled and there will be in-fighting among the allied parties,\u201d he said.
\nThe former minister predicted that a caretaker prime minister, not discussed by political circles yet, could be appointed.
\nHe further said the judiciary would make important decisions in August, while September would prove cruel and politics might get complicated.
\nHe further said the PPP and Nawaz League would face off in a week, many hopes would dash to ground and even winning Sindh would not be easy for Peoples Party.
\nHe said a new political setup would emerge, which would change the whole landscape for the allies.
\n\u201cWhen allies will contest elections on their own electoral symbols, the fissures will deepen and their votes will also be divided,\u201d he said. He said the appointment of the caretaker prime minister would make things clear and determine the future politics.
\nThe AML head said the next two weeks would be important for country\u2019s politics. \u201cPeople are being kept ignorant of the developments being taken place in political arena but only the people will make a final decision. Time will prove that those who consider the public ignorant are themselves ignorant,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
