Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, foreign minister and PPP chairman, warned early elections would hurt democracy.
FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said this on Al-Jazeera.
He claimed he didn’t see the need for early elections in the country, as Imran Khan requested.
Foreign minister: “We inherited a divided country and a collapsing economy.” Al-Jazeera quoted him saying the current government is seeking internal answers and international consensus.
He stated no single political party or individual could handle the difficulties inherited from the previous government alone.

The foreign minister dismissed claims of a foreign conspiracy behind Imran Khan’s departure, saying political leaders should tell the truth to their people.
The first time a prime minister was dismissed constitutionally by a vote of confidence, not a coup or court decision.
Instead of advancing democracy, early polls will advance Imran Khan’s goal, he claimed.
He stated the country should finish its five-year term unless there’s an emergency, which isn’t the case.
FM Bilawal said Kashmir was an unfinished agenda, and after Narendra Modi’s election, space for Muslims in India and Kashmir was narrowing.
Pakistanis and Indians desire peace, he remarked. However, respecting international laws and treaties was crucial to addressing terrorism and extremism.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan is working with Afghanistan in its own and the region’s interests.
He stated that Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was behind past and ongoing terror strikes. Pakistan will engage with Afghanistan to combat terrorist groups, he said.
