President Alvi’s letter states that the Constitution of Pakistan mandates elections within 90 days of dissolution of any assembly, which in this case means that elections have to be held not later than November 6.
President Alvi must be appreciated for his fairness (many would argue he went out of the way) in laying out the views of the Election Commission, the Law Division, and the provincial governments. Certainly, he is being fairer in laying out both sides of the argument than the cabal opposing elections illogically, which consists of a set of political parties and a segment of the media, abetted by segments of the bureaucracy whose job is to defend the Constitution.
