Despite PTI\u2019s objection to nomination of Shahbaz Sharif for slot of prime minister, NA secretariat accepts his papers
\n ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Fawad Chaudhry has said the PTI has decided to resign en masse from the assemblies and the process to quit assemblies will start from the National Assembly on Monday.
\nIn a tweet on Sunday, Fawad, who served as an information minister in Imran Khan\u2019s cabinet, said, \u201cThe PTI has decided to resign from assemblies. This process [of resignations] will start from the National Assembly tomorrow after the election of the prime minister.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, speaking to the media in Islamabad following a meeting of the PTI\u2019s Central Executive Committee (CEC), Fawad said the CEC meeting at Bani Gala analysed the political situation after the ouster of Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion.
\nFawad said the CEC suggested resignations en masse from the lower house of parliament if PTI\u2019s reservations regarding the nomination of PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif as the PM remained un-addressed. \u201cIf our reservations on Shehbaz are not addressed, we will resign en masse on Monday,\u201d he added.
\nFawad claimed that it was a \u201cgreat injustice\u201d that Shehbaz will be contesting the election for the post of the PM on the same day as his indictment in a money laundering case. The former federal minister said the PTI fielded Shah Mahmood Qureshi for the post of the premier because it wanted to challenge the nomination papers filed by the PML-N president.
\nHe said what could be more humiliating than making Shehbaz the head of a government that was \u201cimported\u201d. Fawad further said the CEC was unanimous that the ouster of Imran Khan was a \u201cvery big conspiracy\u201d. He termed it a \u201cforeign regime change operation\u201d and said that the PTI \u201crejected\u201d it. \u201cThe entire nation expects leadership from Imran Khan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
