LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers have decided to appear before National Assembly Speaker Raja Parvez Ashraf for the verification of their resignations.
As per the sources, the members of the National Assembly (MNAs) will either appear before the speaker on Wednesday or Thursday. The date will be finalised by party Chairman Imran Khan during the consultative meeting today, said the sources.
The decision was made by PTI after the members did not get a response to the letter they wrote to the NA speaker, said the sources. They added that party Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote a letter to Ashraf a few days ago.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has said that KPK and Punjab Assemblies will be dissolved next Friday.
Those who have looted the country for 30 years have been put on top. The country is leading to destruction. I live and die with Pakistan.
Speaking through a video link at the Power Show of Tehreek-e-Insaf at Liberty Chowk, Imran Khan said that in the presence of Chief Minister Punjab Pervaiz Elahi and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan, I announce the dissolution of the KPK and Punjab Assembly on Friday, December 23. We will prepare for the election. We sacrifice two assemblies for the country, he said.
There will be an election in 66% of the country, the nation need not be disappointed, we will raise this country. Only a government with people’s power can raise Pakistan.
Elections will be held in 90 days according to the law after the dissolution of the assemblies. PTI MNAs will appear before Speaker and ask to accept the resignations, he said.
