Kundi takes a dig at Fazl over election remarks.

ISLAMABAD -- Responding to JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, PPP Information Secretary Faisal Karim Kundi emphasized that his party had consistently advocated for holding elections within 90 days following the dissolution of the National Assembly, underscoring it as a constitutional requirement.

Earlier, Maulana Fazlur Rehman had cited cold weather and snowfall as reasons for the potential difficulty for people to cast their votes in the proposed month of January. During a news conference in Multan, he reiterated that the upcoming elections would adhere to the new delimitation of constituencies, a process he noted as time-consuming and likely to impact the election schedule.
