'Dissolution of assemblies likely before Dec 20'
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief and former Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday announcement to dissolve the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies will be made before December 20.
During the meeting with PTI’s Mianwali, Sargodha and Sahiwal lawmakers at Zaman Park, the deposed premier, while highlighting the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement’ (PDM) "ineffective decisions" on the country’s economy, said that party’s politics is not against the country’s interests, adding that the announcement regarding the provincial assemblies’ dissolution will be made before December 20.
"PML-Q is our key ally, and we are on the same page over dissolution decisions," he continued.
Earlier, the PTI chief on Monday lambasted the current administration, claiming that investors had lost faith in the government due to its policies.
The former prime minister, while speaking to a gathering of his economic team, expressed apprehension that things would spiral out of control. He said he had sought the help of Hammad Azhar, Hamayun Akthar, Omar Ayub and others to discuss the economic situation. He lamented that the media did not highlight the state of economy.
"We are making all-out efforts to inform people about the economic condition. We’ll explain to people how the nation is struggling to deal with the current predicament and how we can overcome it. The current situation will have effects on key state institutions," added the former premier.
Citing the Soviet Union’s force, Imran said the Soviet Union’s force was the most powerful army in the world.
The former premier reiterated that the court must play a part if the nation is to avoid a quick decline. Highlighting the contributions made by his government, he said, “The wealthiest people in our time were farmers. Farmers experienced their first-ever record profits. During our time, industries were growing. The industry saw a 10.7% gain in large-scale manufacturing.
Imran Khan said, “The country’s dollar deficit was widening and that we had taken out loans to cover the instalment payments”.
