President defies constitution by announcing elections date: Kh Asif   

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said the date of the elections announced by President Arif Hussain Alvi is beyond his constitutional powers, reported 24NewsHd TV channel. 

Talking to the media on Monday, he said President was violating his constitutional authority by giving the date of the elections of the provinces.  “This is tantamount to breaking the constitution.” 

Kh Asif said that Arif Hussain Alvi had nothing to do with the provincial elections. He alleged that the president is working as a worker of PTI. 

He lamented that people become mature with the positions but he is insulting the office of the president. 

He said that the constitution prescribed punishment for violation of the constitution.
