Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry insisted on Friday that provincial assemblies will be dissolved “in any case” after Chief Minister Parvez Elahi assured the Lahore High Court (LHC) that he would not dissolve the Punjab Assembly.
“The undertaking that Parvez Elahi has given is technical. However, the PTI does not agree with the undertaking that was given to the court. Assemblies will be dissolved in any case,” Fawad told journalists in Lahore.
Fawad said the court has proved today that the PTI’s stance was the right, and it nullified the governor’s notification to remove Elahi. “The governor will be summoned to Punjab Assembly for questioning about the notification.”
Fawad also said that Elahi was ready to take the vote of confidence and that maybe he would ask the speaker to summon a session in this regard within a week. “Our only demand was that the session takes place once our lawmakers, who are abroad, return.”
The senior PTI leader added that Punjab Assembly Speaker Sibtain Khan would write a letter to President Arif Alvi for the removal of Rehman.
