LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Thursday while declaring the prime minister’s announcement of holding Senate elections one month before schedule said that after Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Imran Khan has now become chairman of the Election of Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Addressing a press conference in Lahore on Thursday, she said that they [rulers] can do whatever they want but government will not survive, adding that the prime minister do not trust his own parliamentarians, so he thought of show of hands.

“We won’t sit back after resigning from the parliament and we are not afraid of threats,” she added.
