Punjab Law Minister Muhammad Basharat Raja on Sunday disclosed that local body elections in the province will be held in March, April next year. With the political temperature currently rising, Raja took a swipe at the opposition parties to claim that candidates from the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will 'clean sweep' those polls. He added that the current aggressive attitude of the opposition was beyond comprehension. The provincial minister continued that there is no space for the politics of personalities and egos anymore. In a democratic government, everyone has the right to hold rallies but no one will be allowed to take the law into their hands.
