LAHORE – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan claimed the other day that he had dissolved the Punjab and KPK assemblies on the advice of the former army chief General retired Qamar Javed Bajwa whom he had been accusing of toppling his government in April last year.
In an interview to a news channel aired on Sunday, Imran Khan recalled one of his meetings with General Bajwa held in the presence of President Dr Arif Alvi and said that the top general told him to dissolve the two provincial governments if he wanted to have early elections.
The PTI chief also gave another reason for dissolving the provincial governments in that interview. “When we dissolved our governments, it was in the background of senior PML-N leaders’ statements that if you want elections, you should dissolve your governments. The statements of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Maryam Nawaz Sharif are on record in this record. So, we dissolved the governments and now they are running away from elections”, he said. In a lighter vein, Imran Khan likened the current stance of the PDM parties on holding elections with the cricket matches played by schoolchildren who would sometimes run away from the ground along with the wickets seeing a clear defeat .Original Source
