Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq has said that the caretaker government will not bring forward any justification for postponing the elections. Elections will not be delayed due to law and order, border situation. The electoral process is the mandate of the Election Commission.
During one of his interviews, the caretaker prime minister said that Pakistan is definitely facing threats on the western and eastern fronts. I am sure that border threats will also be controlled at the same time.
The Caretaker Prime Minister said that increasing security threats on the eastern and western borders have increased the need for an effective response. Border situation will not affect the conduct of elections.
He also said that the government’s job is to support the Election Commission for the elections, for which they are fully prepared. It is not the duty of the caretaker government to end speculations related to elections, it is constitutionally the duty of the Election Commission to conduct elections.
The Caretaker Prime Minister said that the impression that PTI Chairman is being kept out of politics through legal cases is not correct. Judicial process will be transparent in the cases against Chairman PTI.
Talking about the tense situation on the western border, the caretaker prime minister said that in the Doha peace agreement, the Taliban had assured the world that their land would not be used for terrorism against anyone else.
Anwar-ul-Haq, Pakistan has the right to defend itself and will take action wherever it deems necessary to defend its people and land, and will take decisions according to the threat that will emerge. Action will show what we want to do and what we can do.

**Interview with Dr. Sarah Ahmad, Political Analyst**
**Host:** Welcome, Dr. Ahmad. With the recent announcement by Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq that the government will not offer any justification for postponing the elections, what are your thoughts on the implications of this stance?
**Dr. Ahmad:** Thank you for having me. Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq’s commitment to holding elections on schedule, despite challenges related to law and order or border situations, is significant. It signals a determination to uphold democratic processes. This approach may instill confidence among voters and political parties that the government is serious about transitions in governance.
**Host:** Given the complexities surrounding the elections, such as voter turnout and various candidates, how do you foresee the public reacting to this decision?
**Dr. Ahmad:** Public reaction is crucial. There is a high expectation that elections will be free and fair, and any disruption could lead to discontent. The caretaker government’s position may alleviate concerns among constituents about potential delays. However, voter turnout will depend on how well these elections are perceived in terms of transparency and security. If citizens believe their safety is ensured, we could see robust participation.
**Host:** Speaking of candidates, what do you think will be the key factors influencing voters’ decisions in this election?
**Dr. Ahmad:** Voters will likely consider various factors, including party platforms, candidates’ past performance, and the perceived ability to tackle urgent issues like the economy and security. Additionally, the role of social media and information campaigns will be pivotal in shaping public opinion in the lead-up to the elections.
**Host:** Dr. Ahmad, how important is it for the caretaker government to maintain order during this period leading up to the elections?
**Dr. Ahmad:** It’s absolutely critical. The caretaker government must ensure stability and security to foster a conducive environment for the electoral process. Any significant unrest could have detrimental effects not only on voter turnout but also on the credibility of the election outcome. Their ability to manage these challenges will ultimately be a key test of their governance.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Ahmad, for sharing your insights on this vital topic. We appreciate your perspective as the country prepares for these important elections.
**Dr. Ahmad:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important time for Pakistan, and I hope to see a successful electoral process unfold.
