Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has claimed that no political party has presented a plan in their manifesto to fix the economy and reassured that there was no reason to justify any delay in general elections.

In an interview aired on the newly launched TV channel Aik News, the caretaker PM said political parties’ candidates were canvassing, and all rumours regarding the delay in general elections would fall to rest on the evening of February 8.

He said the key focus should be on improving the economy but added that, unfortunately, no political party had yet come up with an agenda to fix the chronic economic issues.

The PM added that the claims made by political parties in their campaigns regarding jobs, shelters, cheap electricity, food security, and others were contingent upon a stable economy.
