The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday finalized a roadmap for the dissolution of provincial assemblies in two phases so as to not fully cut itself off.
\nDuring a meeting at PTI Chairman Imran Khan\u2019s home in Lahore\u2019s Zaman Town on Monday, PTI\u2019s national and provincial assembly lawmakers decided that in the first phase, the provincial assembly of Punjab would be dissolved by taking Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi into confidence.
\nIt was decided that in the second phase, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) assembly would be dissolved.
\nThe meeting also decided that a protest movement announced by the party against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) last week, would be converted into a full fledged election campaign.
\nEarlier during the meeting, PTI lawmakers once again reposed their trust in Imran\u2019s leadership of the party and backed his decision to decide when to dissolve the assemblies.
\nThey also supported a decision that all PTI MNAs will return to the lower house of parliament. However, it will only be to tender their resignations again, this time on the floor of the assembly.
\nEarlier, former federal information minister and PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said that PTI\u2019s leadership has endorsed the decision to dissolve Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) assemblies.
\nHe said that the party has principally resolved to dissolve the two provincial assemblies.
\nHe said that after dissolution of the assemblies, the government will have to conduct fresh elections at any cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
