Imran Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), will dissolve the Punjab Assembly this month.
The PTI issued the PDM a December 20 deadline to announce the election date; otherwise, Imran Khan will dissolve the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab assemblies. The ruling coalition, which previously said it would stop the PTI, has now dared it to dissolve the assemblies.
The PTI chief met with Bhakkar, Mianwali, Pakpattan, and Sahiwal parliamentarians. Members backed dissolving the provincial assembly, sources said.
Imran Khan informed PTI legislators that the assembly will be dissolved this month, and the date will be announced before December 20.
Addressing the PTI’s legislators, PTI reiterated that the PML-Q is a vital ally, and he has informed them of the decision. Imran Khan also informed the legislators that the PML-Q is on the same page as the PTI regarding the assembly’s dissolution.
“Our politics is not above the country. This government has destroyed the national economy,” he maintained.
Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Sibtain Khan, also said that all the provincial assembly members have endorsed Imran Khan’s decision.
