President’s spokesman contradicts press reports

ISLAMABAD : A spokesman of the President House Friday dismissed the reports in a section of press regarding delay in the swearing-in of the new federal cabinet.Maj. Gen. (Retd) Rashid Qureshi terming the report, “totally baseless and wrong” told APP that “No summary has yet been received by the Presidency from the Prime Minister Secretariat”.
“How it can be refused or rejected since it has not been received, as conjectured by a section of the media,” Rashid Qureshi said.
He said the reports appeared to be part of a well thought out disinformation campaign by certain vested political interests to create differences.
The spokesman regretted that some section of the media was being continuously fed untrue and speculative information.
He said, “The President House had never delayed or impeded the political process or government formation.”
He recalled that the general election was held on schedule despite the rumours about their delay. He said again it was speculated that the session of the National Assembly would not be summoned or the new Prime Minister would be not be sworn in. However all these baseless reports have proved wrong.
