Islamabad, April 06, 2023 (PPI-OT):Minister for Law Azam Nazeer Tarar has again demanded of constituting full court bench to resolve the matters pertaining to holding elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Briefing the foreign media on the Supreme Court’s verdict and the government’s stance on it in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the solution to the prevailing constitutional, political and legal complications is to hold elections once and same time in the entire country to ensure transparency and fairness.
