Islamabad, May 5 (IBNS):  Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that politicians deserve to get same respect as judges, generals, and government officials.

While addressing a ceremony in Pasrur the PM said a country needs to respect its politicians to ensure its progress.

"Politicians are in the front when it comes to running countries and solving problems," Abbasi was quoted as saying by Geo News.

The PM said the general election in the nation will be held before July 30.

“If the elections are delayed then we will approach the courts and the people,” he was quoted as saying in an event by Geo News.

“Many people don’t want the elections to be held in the country on time,” PM Abbasi said.

He said people of the nation should have the right to decide its future.

"Nation has to make this decision. The decision made by people at the ballot box should be respected," he said.
