Pak PM Ashraf calls for unity in holding free, fair, transparent elections

Islamabad, July 15 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf has urged all the opposition parties to shun differences and come forward to hold free, fair and transparent elections in the country.

"Election is the only process to reach the power corridors," The Express Tribune quoted Ashraf, as saying.

Ashraf said all political parties should make a collective effort to hold free and fair elections, and for this, a consensus Chief Election Commissioner had been appointed.

He said he was sincere in establishing cordial relations with the opposition parties.

Ashraf also took a swipe at the Judiciary, saying he regretted that dictators had managed to rule the country for more than 10 years in a single go, but no one had stopped them from their unconstitutional actions, but an elected government was unnecessarily being targeted. (ANI)
