Summary Let alone the PM, the government would step down if rigging is proven, says Dar

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar on Tuesday has said that he would meet Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif tomorrow (Wednesday) to discuss the holding of negotiations with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

He expressed these views while addressing the participants of a ceremony in Islamabad.

Dar said that if rigging is proven by the Judicial Commission in the General Elections 2013 by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) then let alone the PM, the government would step down.

He also said that the PM would discuss the holding of negotiations with PTI on Wednesday.

Dar said that had PTI called the demonstration of protest in Faisalabad off, the negotiations would have been started by now.

He said that if Imran Khan does not agree with the verdict of the recommended Judicial Commission then the government needs to reconsider its decision that whether a Judicial Commission should be extablished or not.

Federal Minister further said that if rigging is not proven in the General Elections 2013 after investigations then PTI chairman must apologise to all citizens of Pakistan.
