Imran Khan, the former prime minister, suggested on Sunday that the government dissolve the assembly in May and then hold elections in July of this year.
The former prime minister stated that Punjab elections would not be postponed beyond May 14 in an interview with ARY News on Sunday. He claimed that although Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the deputy chairman of the PTI, has been instructed to speak with the ruling coalition about the general elections, no one has yet gotten in touch with him about this.
Imran Khan urges the government to hold elections in July.
Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claimed that an attempt was made to kidnap him after his residence was recently attacked. He claimed that although his party members had previously been detained, they were currently being kidnapped.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was fractured internally, according to Khan, which made it comprehensible why it was avoiding elections.
Khan reiterated that Nawaz Sharif, a PML-N supporter, had been promised that he and the PTI would be overthrown.
Khan stated, “They are now trying to have me disqualified in the Toshakhana case after failing to have me disqualified in the foreign funding case.”
In response to a question regarding the designation of the subsequent chief minister of Punjab, Khan stated that no name for the position has been decided upon as of yet. He declared that he would not appoint Qureshi, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, and Hammad Azhar to Punjab because they were his most important federal ministers. He said that nobody objected to Usman Buzdar’s appointment as Punjab’s chief minister during the previous PTI administration.
When asked about his past mistakes, Khan replied that he had paid a high price for them and had gained a lot of insight. After being elected for a second term as Pakistan’s prime minister, he declared that he would not trust anyone. According to him, former army head Qamar Javed Bajwa betrayed his confidence.
