Question of
Interior ministry spokesman Brig Javed Iqbal Cheema said on Friday that she was killed when the force of the bomb blast knocked her head against a sun roof fitting, and was not hit by bullets.
The PPP has insisted she was killed by two bullets, one of which pierced her skull and another which hit her in the neck.
The assassination opened the question of whether elections due on 8 January would go ahead as planned.
The ruling party says they are likely to be delayed for several weeks, on the grounds that the vote would "lose credibility" if held under current conditions.
Opposition parties have been calling for a delay, amid widespread unrest and political disarray following the murder of Ms Bhutto.
Tariq Azim of the ruling PML-Q party said a delay would allow the PPP more time to re-organise.

Now look at the following sentence of the above:
The assassination opened the question of whether elections due on 8 January would go ahead as planned.
Is it correct to say 'the question of whether elections ...?

You're asking questions.

Then you say It may be the following:

or: It is permitted to be the following:
And you give another sentence.
The reader expects another question or a statement of doubt after asking

Thanks CalifJim
So the flaw lies in affirmative nature. I never thought of it.
I thought you are free to ask or rather formulate sentences when asking questions.
