Asad says assemblies' dissolution will give PTI 'an edge'
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Umar said on Friday that political dissolution will prove to be beneficial for his party.
The PTI leader said, “There was a chance that we will not be allowed to dissolve assemblies, as of now we have crossed that hurdle and now the nation is worried that there will be no elections.”
Asad Umar while slamming the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said, "There is no doubt that the electoral watchdog is a biased institution as it issued arrest warrants against PTI chief Imran Khan and me". Such an institute should not conduct elections as it was not good for the government, adding that his party had filed a reference against the Chief Election Commissioner, Mr Umar added.
Mr Umar added, “We hope that the court will decide regarding this situation, though we will still contest elections even under the supervision of the current CEC.” He added that PTI’s legal team was all set to face the next phases as well.
Mr Umar said it was clearly written in the constitution that elections should be held within 90 days and that no judiciary would ever allow open defiance of the constitution.
Furthermore, Mr Umar said that elections should be held despite the ongoing census.
