Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has disclosed that there are rumours of suspending the elections in the country, and the government would defend such a situation if it arises.
Speaking to Geo News, Asif stated, “There is an uncertain environment in the country, in which the politicians as well the judiciary are responsible.”
He also stated that there is a danger of constitutional meltdown in the country and agreed with the recent Fitch report about the collapse of the current government in 18 months. He said, “People are ready to join the technocratic government now.”
Interestingly, he also admitted that the ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was premature because consultation with allies is necessary.

BMI, a Fitch Solutions company, has forecast an unstable economic-political situation in Pakistan with its prediction that Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is unlikely to get out of prison soon.
“We expect that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led government will remain in power over the coming 18 months and will succeed in pushing through with International Monetary Fund (IMF) mandated fiscal reforms,” predicted BMI, in its Pakistan Country Risk Report for the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2024.
