ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday said the government would complete its five-year constitutional and democratic term.
“Next general elections would be held in the country in 2013 according to schedule and after the completion of democratic term by the present government,” she told media after inaugurating Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA) Complaints Call Center.
“Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) led government will complete its constitutional tenure as masses have mandated it through their vote to run government affairs for five years,” the minister stated.
Brushing aside rumors that she is going to join Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said, “I have to live and die with Pakistan Peoples Party and such rumors carry no weight.”
She said “Ministry and any other portfolio are meaningless to me,” adding, “I would prefer to go home if failed to deliver.”
