He said that their movement will consist of different phases and in the first phase protest rallies will be taken out in the constituencies for three weeks under the leadership of MNAs and MPAs and then they will announce their next course of action.
He said that PTI leadership had rejected the echo of the technocrat government in the high-level meeting because there was no scope for such a form of government in Pakistan. He said that the people of Pakistan will not accept a technocrat government as their demand was immediate and transparent elections.
Fawad Chaudhry said that it was the constitutional right of PTI to form the government of Punjab and dissolve the Assembly.
