Imran Khan says to be on streets once he gets better.
PTI chief warns government against delaying polls.
He blames Gen (retd) Bajwa for PTI’s ouster in April.
In a major development, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman (PTI) Imran Khan on Saturday announced the dissolution of the assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on December 23 (Friday).
The announcement of the PTI chief — who was flanked by Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi and CM Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan — came during his address to the party’s workers and supporters via video link from his residence in Lahore’s Zaman Park.
In response, Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah and Special Assistant to Prime Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira reiterated that the government’s stance still stands — elections for assemblies that will be dissolved and by-polls on the constituencies that are vacated.
Before Imran issued the date, there were reports about CM Elahi not backing the PTI chief’s decision, but the chief minister refuted the rumours and vowed that he would back “all of Imran Khan’s decisions”.
