ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Monday said that no solid reason had yet come to the fore to justify a delay in the general elections, assuring that the government was committed to holding polls as freely and fairly as possible.
Kakar, in an interview, said the candidates were canvassing and all the rumours would fall to rest by the evening of February 8 - the date for general elections in the country.
Regarding the usual complaints of rigging before or after the elections, he said that learning lessons from the past, Parliament needed to address all the flaws regarding the laws, administration, or the Election Commission.
He said the observers would monitor and local and international media would report on the activity, assuring that as per the standards in the region, the elections would by and large be free and fair.
Discussing social media, he called it a challenge that empowered individuals irrespective of their educational and mental capability and advocated for its regulation like the mainstream media.
