LAHORE: (HRNW) Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Pervaiz Elahi has assured former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan of ‘dissolving’ the Punjab Assembly without any delay.
According to details, Punjab CM Pervaiz Elahi called on the former premier at his residence in Lahore’s Zaman Park. Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) leaders Moonis Elahi and Hussain Elahi were also present.
During the meeting, matters pertaining to political and administrative were discussed. The rules of procedure of the Punjab Assembly were also reviewed in the meeting. The participants also expressed their determination to fight ‘every unconstitutional tactic’ of the opposition.
Speaking on the occasion, Imran Khan noted that he has summoned a meeting of Punjab Parliamentary Party tomorrow. “A final consultation on the future of Punjab Assembly will be held in the meeting,” he added. Khan also lambasted the incumbent government for ‘destroying’ the country’s economy.
Meanwhile, Pervaiz Elahi assured that there would be no delay in dissolving the Punjab Assembly once PTI chairman gave the call. “The provincial assembly belonged to the former prime minister,” he said, adding that they will support Imran’s every decision.
“We fully support those we choose to ally ourselves with,” the Punjab CM said, adding that those creating misunderstandings will fail as they did in the past. He also welcomed the opposition for tabling a no-confidence motion in the provincial assembly, saying: “It will fail like it did in the past.”
Pervaiz Elahi claimed that the opposition did not have the requisite numbers for passing the no-confidence motion. “Governor’s rule can also not be imposed when the assembly is in session,” he said, advising the opposition to go over the assembly’s Rules of Business before speaking.
