PESHAWAR
Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) on Saturday demanded resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan, claiming political situation was getting worse and the premier would be held accountable for any ‘eventuality’.
Talking to a press conference here, the QWP Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said the workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stormed the Sindh House in Islamabad at the instigation of the party leadership. “Since Imran Khan has lost the majority in the National Assembly, therefore, he should step down to end this crisis,” he maintained.
Aftab Sherpao said the PTI government had lost majority in the National Assembly, adding the country could descent into a civil war if the PTI leadership continued to create hurdles in the war of the no-confidence motion. “Opposition did not have any personal enmity with the prime minister rather they are playing their due role to save the country from further destruction,” he said.
Aftab Sherpao said the prime minister should ensure the presence of the 172 lawmakers of the ruling alliance in the National Assembly to save himself from being ousted through the no-confidence motion instead of threatening to assemble one million supporters at the D-Chowk in Islamabad on March 27.
“The people are mature enough. The incumbent government stands exposed. It failed to deliver on its pledges in the last three and a half years,” he said.
