Yesterday, while giving a media briefing after the meeting of the PTI parliamentary party, Fawad Chaudhry said that they should stop the criticism of PTI.
The former finance minister of PML-N, Miftah Ismail himself, is saying that the government is moving towards default, and the current political and economic situation in Pakistan, in our opinion, has no other solution than elections.
Chaudhry said that Imran Khan has put the ball in the government’s court, He urged the government to sit and talk about elections in Pakistan and the government should announce the elections soon.

He said that during the meeting, Imran Khan advised the government, “You sit with us and decide a framework for electoral reforms.”
Fawad Chaudhry said that the way the government is running now cannot work, so if you don’t want to hold elections on 34% of your seats, that’s your choice, we will hold elections on 64% of our seats.
Talking about the economic situation, the PTI leader said that the federal government has to pay 176 billion rupees to Punjab while Rs120 billion to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The government has no money to give to Punjab. If this situation remains, how can development work be done in Punjab?
Former federal minister said that leave everyone else alone, we do not have money to give to our defense ministry, the current situation, in the next three months, the government will not have money to give to the defense ministry. , the situation we are in is not an uncommon situation, the consequences are very disturbing.
He said that the defence of Pakistan is facing a difficult situation, and the people of Pakistan are facing very disturbing results, so we have told them that their option is either to contest the elections with us, if If not, we have assigned all the powers to Imran Khan, now he will conduct elections wherever he wants.
