Fawad Chaudhry has warned the government to announce general elections by December 20 or Punjab and Peshawar provincial assemblies will be dissolved. The plan to dissolve Punjab and KP assemblies was announced by party’s chairman Imran Khan last month.
This is a complicated and difficult endeavour for which these rules lack capability.” Referring to the Pakistan Democratic Movement, a multi-party ruling coalition at the Centre, he added the country needed political stability which was not possible without a stable government. “We have the complete support of our allies in this matter.”
Moonis Elahi, PML-Q leader and son of Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi, told Dawn on Saturday that his party was “whole-heartedly” behind Mr Khan’s plan. But he also advised him to “be mindful of the fact that the PML-N’s coalition government should not be able to delay the elections through technicalities” as that could make things difficult for both parties once they are out of power in the two provinces.
