Sanaullah terms Imran's resignation announcement from assemblies as 'frustration'
Pakistan
He asserted Imran to realize that "Pakistani nation has rejected his narrative".
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Minister of Interior Rana Sanaullah said on Sunday that Imran Khan s announcement of resignation from provincial assemblies was illogical and an angry reaction.
He said that Imran s announcement of resignation from assemblies was a result of "frustration" because both chief ministers of KP and Punjab could not gather people in large numbers for the long march culminated at Rawalpindi.
He asserted Imran to realize that "Pakistani nation has rejected his narrative".
He quipped that if Imran had a problem with the current political system then the latter should bring a "revolution", adding that if Imran was successful in winning the elections, he would still remain in the same system which he had always disregarded by calling it "corrupt".
Rana Sanaullah said that Chief Minister Punjab Pervaiz Elahi could not dissolve the Punjab Assembly because the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) knew very well how to counter his (Imran) political move.
"PTI s decision to resign from the assemblies would be proven to be a folly while their own parliamentarians will leave," he anticipated.
He said that if a no-confidence motion was brought in the Punjab Assembly against the CM, the provincial government would lose around 15 to 20 votes because some PTI MPAs were in touch with them (PDM).
He said in his opinion, if PTI resigned from provincial assemblies, then by-elections would be held as the flood had destroyed the economy, adding that it was impossible to hold general elections across the country at this point in time.
The minister added that the government requires four to six months to deliver economic progress and provide relief to the common people.
Speaking about Senator Azam Swati s arrest by the FIA, Rana Sanaullah said that the PTI stalwart s speech was anti-state and "uncivilized", now the institution (FIA) would investigate and act within their constitutional limits.
He further said that he specially asked the authorities to provide special care while ensuring comfort and medication for the senator.
