Senator Dilawar Khan on Friday tabled a resolution in the upper house of the Parliament seeking a delay in the elections which was approved by the majority of lawmakers.
Information Minister Murtaza Solangi who was present in the house opposed the move.
He said most of the areas were currently experiencing harsh cold weather, hence, participation in those areas was unmanageable.
Highlighting the law and order situation, Dilawar Khan said attacks were carried out on Mohsin Dawar and Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) members.
Even security forces were attacked in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, he added. He said ANP leader Aimal Wali also had reservations over elections.
