Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Monday said that the final date for voting would be announced soon and that the interim government was trying its utmost to facilitate the electoral process.
Addressing a news conference regarding his recent visit to China in Islamabad, flanked by federal ministers, he said that the government did not do any illegal work in the biometric of the former Prime Minister, nor was he given any political advantage.
The interim prime minister said that he couldn’t say anything if level playing field is the name of giving elections to a particular party, adding that no major political party was out of the political process unless anyone was legally barred.
Regarding the return of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, the caretaker PM said that he was a political reality and his adversaries should face him in politics.
Kakar further said that the Chinese investment expected under the newly signed 20 MoUs would prove to be a stimulant for Pakistan’s economic growth, adding that the MoUs were yet in the planning stage and the assessment of the potential, market needs, and impact on exports would precede their execution.
He said a designated cell at the Prime Minister’s Office would carry out the follow-up of the bilateral and other engagements with China to pave the way for their implementation.
Mentioning his interaction with the Chinese business leaders, he said under the second phase of CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor), the Chinese private business entities would invest in Pakistan’s agriculture, mining, and other sectors.
