Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Moonis Elahi said Tuesday the “strategy to dissolve Punjab Assembly was completed” in a meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan today, adding that “no matter how hard PDM tries, it cannot stop the early elections.”
Separately, in a tweet after meeting Imran, Moonis said that the strategy regarding the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly had now been completed.
“No matter how hard PDM tries, it cannot stop snap elections. Imran Khan will win the next elections,” he added.
For weeks, PML-Q leadership has tried to reassure Imran Khan that the party stands by the promise it made with the PTI regarding the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly.
“It will be done when Imran Khan wants it to happen,” Moonis had said earlier.
آج PM @ImranKhanPTI سے ملاقات میں پنجاب اسمبلی توڑنے کی حکمت عملی مکمل کرلی ہے۔ پی ڈی ایم جتنی مرضی کوشش کر لے جلدی الیکشن کو نہیں روک سکتی۔ اگلے الیکشن میں جیت عمران خان کی ہے۔ pic.twitter.com/xOXyVWkTDi

Moonis’s latest statement comes a day after the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) submitted a no-confidence motion against Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi.
Punjab Governor Balighur Rehman asked the chief minister to obtain a vote of confidence from the Punjab Assembly (PA) on Wednesday (tomorrow), while PML-N and PPP lawmakers submitted a separate no-trust resolution against him in a bid to bar him from dissolving the assembly.
Under the law, the chief minister cannot dissolve the assembly if a no-confidence motion has been moved against him, while the governor’s requirement for the chief minister to seek a vote of confidence from the house means he has to ensure that he manages to secure 186 votes on Wednesday.
Last week, PTI Chairman Imran Khan announced that his governments in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will dissolve their assemblies on December 23 (Friday).
