A Blur Statement of Election Commission on delaying by-polls


A Blur Statement of Election Commission on delaying by-polls


Suddenly, a suspected environment took place in the country over the postponement of by-polls in the country on 5th May. The plea presented by Election Commission, under taking such step was “deteriorating law and order situation”, which was undoubtedly an irrational statement according to the current security situation. It was an abrupt decision with out taking the ruling elite in to the confidence, therefore it provoked they democratic process once again in the country.

The quick reaction was seen by Pakistan Peoples Party, Pakistan Muslim League (N) and the coalition partners, who consider it a conspiracy against the new government under the order of presidency. These by-elections were of great significant as the important leaders like Mr. Shehbaz Sharif, Capatin Safdar from PML(N) whereas An important figure Barrister Aitezaz Ahsan and the co-chairman of PPP Mr Asif Ali Zardari was going to take part. These figures since the election commenced on 18th February are keeping on condemning the presidency. Resultantly, in make the Musharff’s restless as he is no more considered to be fit in this office. However, its important to note that ‘The Wall Street Journal’ reported on Monday that Musharraf seeks a deal with PPP to secure his position as he isn’t agree to quit his powers as president of the state. Conversely, he is worried about the restoration f judges, who ready after the re-instatement to ditch his rule

In this situation, its not easy for government to take the decision on the restoration of judges, on the other hand, they don’t have any other way to move without full-filling their promise as the expectations of the people of Pakistan are high enough. Therefore, it seems as the ruling parties are trying to find the middle way to secure both ends though the Musharff is keep on derailing the democratic system by planning intrigues against the new set-up. The situation could only be improved if Musharff accepts his defeat open heartedly as he has plundered the country by all means.
