– Siraj calls for strong democracy –
A few days ago, Haq emphasized the need for a strong democracy.
Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Haq said, “There is such a democracy in the country where decisions are made before and elections are held afterwards.
Recalling the recently held elections, he said, “Even till now, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has failed to clarify the delay in the poll results.
