The political temperature continues to rise after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) toppled governments in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The federal government is reluctant to hold elections in the province, the matter is pending in the Supreme Court, where the Supreme Court has already said that elections should be held by May 14.

It has been decided to convene an All-Party Conference (APC) after Eid-ul-Fitr to build a consensus on the date of general elections hosted by Jamaat-e-Islami.

However, the federal government has passed some such resolutions in the Standing Committee with parliament, in which it has been said that 21 billion will not be released for the elections to be held in Punjab.

Elections should be held at the same time to reduce the political temperature across the country.

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been raising voices that elections should not go beyond 90 days under any circumstances.
