Federal Minister urges all parties to allow democratic process to proceed peacefully
ISLAMABAD, Aug 2 (APP):Federal Minister and senior Leader Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Engr Amir Muqam on Sunday urged all parties to allow the democratic process to proceed peacefully and let voters decide the outcome through the ballot box.
Addressing media in Islamabad, Engr Amir Muqam said political parties should focus on winning public confidence instead of making allegations that could undermine the electoral process before polling has taken place.
He maintained that election results could not be altered through accusations and called on political stakeholders to accept the people’s verdict with maturity.
“Making allegations without evidence does not change election results,” Amir Muqam said. “Instead of blaming others, political parties should ask the people why they failed to secure their votes. The public’s decision should be accepted with an open heart”, he added.
Amir Muqam said the PML-N had accepted the results of the Gilgit-Baltistan elections despite political differences and expected other parties to demonstrate the same democratic spirit.
“Initially, they raised objections over four constituencies, and now they have reduced those claims to two,” he said. “An inquiry committee has already been formed to examine the complaints, but nothing substantial has emerged from those allegations so far,” he added.
Defending his party’s electoral strength in Azad Kashmir, Amir Muqam said the people of Mirpur Division had supported the PML-N because of its governance and development record.
“The people voted for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on the basis of its performance,” he said.
“We have worked systematically across constituencies, resolved differences and united people on a common platform,” he said, adding that meetings with PPP leaders had taken place but did not violate any agreed political framework.
“We have witnessed arbitrary transfers and administrative decisions that appear discriminatory,” Amir Muqam alleged. “Such actions create an uneven playing field for political parties.”
“The solution lies in the general elections. Let the people decide whom they want to lead, and everyone should accept that verdict,” he said, adding that the PML-N would respect the outcome of legitimate elections.
Concluding his remarks, Amir Muqam expressed confidence that the people of Azad Kashmir would once again place their trust in the PML-N leadership.
“If the people of Kashmir want real change and sustainable development, it can only be achieved under the leadership of their Quaid Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif,” he said.
Amir Muqam’s remarks came in response to the PPP’s allegations regarding the electoral process.
