Caretaker Minister for Information and Broadcasting Murtaza Solangi says the caretaker government is only responsible to assist the Election Commission of Pakistan and has nothing to do with the date for general elections.

Speaking during a program of a private news channel on Tuesday, he said following the amendment in the Elections Act, authority to set date for general elections rests with the Election Commission.

The Minister said the caretaker government will extend all out support to the Election Commission for holding general elections in the country.

To a question regarding decision on issue of electricity bills, he said we need to take IMF on board and caretaker Minister for Finance Shamshad Akhtar is in touch with the IMF authorities and decision in this regard will be made soon.
