\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry said Thursday that the party might announce the dissolution of assemblies either on December 17 or 23. \u201cThe coalition government isn\u2019t serious about dialogue,\u201d the former information minister told a press conference in Lahore, as the PTI is persistent that only snap polls are the solution to end the ongoing political as well as economic instability in the country.
\nThe claim comes a day after PTI Chairman Imran Khan announced that he would give a date for the dissolution of both \u2014 Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa \u2014 assemblies on December 17 during a public gathering.
\nFawad said even President Arif Alvi attempted to negotiate with the rulers, but he was \u201cupset\u201d due to their attitude. The ex-minister claimed that the government is not \u201cserious\u201d about holding talks as it is aware that when the country moves towards the general elections, the people would opt for the PTI. \u201cOnce interventions in politics end, everyone will see [who will come out victorious]. I hope that all state institutions will work for the country\u2019s stability.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deposed prime minister has also rubbished the impression that the PTI is looking towards the establishment for support. However, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah told Khan a day earlier \u201cthat establishment would not get him the election date and neither will 2018 general elections-like facilities\u201d be available.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Fawad also noted that PTI lawmakers \u2014 who resigned en masse in April this year \u2014 were not receiving their salaries and asked Qureshi to investigate whether the government had \u201ctaken their salaries\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
