Kalyan Party calls for lifting emergency
Monday, 20 October 2008
Kalayan Party chairman Maj Gen (retd) Ibrahim has called for lifting the state of emergency to create congenial atmosphere for the December 18 parliamentary polls, reports UNB.
"Although only two months are left before elections, there is still no election environment in the country due to the state of emergency," he said.
Exchanging views with his party leaders at the party's New DOHS secretariat, Ibrahim said the emergency prevents political parties from conducting openly their activities and reaching the people with their messages.
Demanding immediate withdrawal of the emergency, he said people this time around have become quite conscious and would boycott the corrupt and terrorists in the coming elections.
