Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to hold a power show at Liberty Chowk in Lahore and other divisional headquarters across Punjab on Saturday (Dec 17), in which party chairman, Imran Khan, is expected to announce the future course of action via video link.
In this connection, the former prime minister on Tuesday chaired a meeting of PTI’s Central Punjab and Lahore leadership. Moreover, during a meeting with the PTI’s lawmakers from Bhakkar, Mianwali, Pakpattan, Sargodha and Sahiwal, PTI chief Imran assured them that the assemblies will be dissolved this month. “I will announce the date to dissolve the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before December 20”. Punjab senior minister Mian Aslam Iqbal, provincial health minister Dr Yasmin Rashid, former federal Minister Hammad Azhar and other PTI leaders were also present in the meeting. Imran also highlighted the coalition government’s “inept” economic policies, saying that it has brought the country to the brink of default. “PTI’s politics is not against the country’s interests. PML-Q is our key ally, and we are on the same page over the dissolution decision,” he added. On this occasion, the PTI lawmakers expressed their support for the PTI chairman’s decision to dissolve the assemblies.
Meanwhile, in a press conference, senior provincial minister Mian Aslam Iqbal said that the PTI has decided to dissolve the assemblies this month and its final date will be announced at Liberty Chowk during party’s power show. “A meeting has been called under the chair of Imran Khan to discuss matters relating to dissolution of assemblies”.
