LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Pervaiz Elahi said on Monday that political talks cannot be successful without the dissolution of the National Assembly (NA).
Pervaiz Elahi said in a statement that if the government is serious for conducting elections then it will announce the dissolution of the National Assembly (NA).
He made the statement while talking to different politicians who held a meeting with him, Wajahat Hussain and Rasikh Elahi. The PTI president said that the deadline set by the Supreme Court (SC) to the government for organising polls is going to expire soon.
“The government is running an organised campaign against the Supreme Court (SC) instead of holding talks and using dialogue option as a delaying tactic. Shehbaz Sharif will not be successful to fool the SC.”
“If government is serious to conduct elections on a date then it will announce the dissolution of the NA. Talks cannot be successful without the dissolution of the NA.”
“In Punjab, no one is ready to accept PML-N [Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz] tickets. PML-N wants to maintain its reputation by boycotting the elections which is tantamount to accepting its defeat.”
Pervaiz Elahi said that the political developments clearly indicate the success of PTI in Punjab and the formation of its next government.
Earlier, Pervaiz Elahi vowed to stand beside party chairman Imran Khan despite the registration of cases and inquiries by the government.
Pervaiz Elahi said in a statement that they will not leave supporting Imran Khan despite the government’s cases and inquiries against them.
He made the statement during a meeting with former Punjab Assembly speaker Chaudhry Afzal Sahi. During the meeting, they discussed the current political situation.
The PTI president said that only Imran Khan can bring back prosperity and development to the country. He slammed the government for running propaganda and damaging the image of Pakistan globally.
