RAWALPINDI – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed on Monday said that upcoming general elections in the country can be delayed until November this year.
The outspoken AML leader, however, maintained that elections would be held during the tenure of Chief Justice Saqib Nisar.
Speaking to media in his hometown, he said that he still stands firm on his claim that “Nawaz Sharif will go to prison.”
Earlier, Rasheed has urged Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar to impose a 90-day-long ‘judicial martial law’ in the run-up to forthcoming general elections.
He said appointing the caretaker prime minister is the actual responsibility of the chief justice as the whole nation is looking up to the judiciary in this regard.
The 67-year-old politician alleged that firing on Supreme Court Justice Aijazul Ahsan is an effort to frighten the accountability court.
On Monday, President Mamnoon Hussain said General Elections 2018 will be held on time.
