Islamabad, Jan 2: Pakistan will be polarised further if the general elections scheduled for January 8 is postponed, a Western diplomat has said.
He further said the government has put itself at risk because people would see the delay of elections for what it really was.
The problems of burned electoral offices in Sindh were easy to remedy in a nation with over 100 electoral offices, the New York Times (NYT) quoted the diplomat, as saying.
The government has also extended the detention of Aitzaz Ahsan, the leader of the opposition lawyers’ movement for another month, his son, Ali Ahsan, said.
