Imran Khan, former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, urged the ruling coalition to hold negotiations over the election timetable, saying his party would wait until the end of December so that the election could be held in March next year.
The former premier told a private news channel, “Bol” with Imran Riaz Khan, that he wouldn’t dissolve Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies if the current government is ready to hold elections by March next year.
His party won’t agree on a date after March, and assemblies will be dissolved if the government refuses.
“We are ready to negotiate the date of general elections,” the former prime minister stated, citing PTI’s dire economic circumstances.
He underlined the country’s mounting debt and failing economy. “Citizens will suffer under the current rules,” he said.
Imran Khan threatened to dissolve the Punjab and KP assemblies if the March 2023 elections weren’t held.
The PTI Chairman said Punjab CM Pervaiz Elahi had committed to executing his orders to dissolve assemblies. Pervaiz Elahi has granted him full authority to disband the assembly.

- Bajwa’s extension
The former prime minister said his government’s decision to extend Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s term was the biggest mistake in his tenure.
Imran Khan called the move a mistake and said nobody should get an army extension. “When we came to power, our government had various problems,” he remarked.
“I’d trust ex-COAS General Bajwa. I’d tell him we’re both thinking about the country; our only goal was to save it,” he said, adding that he didn’t know how he was being lied to and misled.
He said he received a report from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) about a game and that his informant would alert him verbally due to anxieties.

2. Accountability of Correupts / Rule of Law
Imran Khan first didn’t understand why the powerful weren’t held accountable. He then realized he didn’t control the National Accountability Bureau. Someone else controlled it, and they didn’t consider corruption a terrible practice, the PTI Chairman said.
Imran Khan accused Zardari of corruption, stating, “It’s an omen of doomsday that he says NAB will jail me.”
PTI chief stated he would campaign in Sindh and defeat Zardari in
