Another resolution seeking a three-month delay in general elections due to security challenges has been submitted to Senate, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The resolution was submitted by Senator Hadayat Ullah of the independent group of the parliament on Friday.
According to the resolution, the Upper House calls upon the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Supreme Court to sympathetically ponder over the peaceful conduct of the elections.
The resolution expresses concern over the rising incidents of attacks on the election candidates.
This is the second resolution landed in the Upper House seeking delay in elections.
On January 5, Senate passed a resolution seeking delay in polls due on February8 citing harsh weather and security concerns.
The resolution was moved by an independent senator, Dilawar Khan, during a session with only 14 lawmakers in attendance. The Senate has a total of 100 members.
Mentioning cold weather in some parts of Pakistan, which could create difficulties in ensuring participation of residents during the electioneering process, as well as serious threats to prominent politicians, and attacks on security forces and citizens, the non-binding resolution said the "elections may be postponed to facilitate the effective participation of people from all areas of Pakistan and belonging to all shades."
A day after Senate adopted the resolution, a new resolution was submitted on Jan 6 emphasising the need to adhere to “constitutional requirements” and ensure the timely conduct of the polls.
PML-N Senator Afnan Ullah Khan had opposed the non-binding resolution, which was moved by independent Senator Dilawar Khan.
Later, the passage of the resolution was roundly criticised by various political parties, while the caretaker information minister had insisted that there was no directive from the prime minister or the federal cabinet for delay.
JI Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan also submitted another resolution in the Senate secretariat, urging that polls should be conducted on time.
