PTI will be welcomed back in NA
\nPTI MNAs needed to withdraw resignations before returning to NA
\nISLAMABAD
\nPakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers in the National Assembly will be needed to withdraw their resignations before returning to the Lower House.
\nWhile talking to a private television channel, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah reacted to Imran Khan\u2019s statement in which he hinted at joining back the National Assembly. He said that the coalition government will welcome PTI MNAs in the National Assembly.
\nHe said that PTI will review all of its decisions. He mocked Imran Khan by saying the PTI chief is already known as \u2018U-turn Khan\u2019 and he would face a humiliating defeat in Punjab after Karachi.
\n\u201cFor returning to the National Assembly, PTI MNAs need to withdraw their resignations. They will have to sit in the assembly and submit a request to the opposition leader.\u201d
\nHe added that the NA speaker may accept the requests of PTI MNAs for the withdrawal of their resignations after their return to the House. \u201cWe are asking them from the first day to act like a politician and return to the assembly. They keep running a campaign for bankruptcy of the country.\u201d
\nSanaullah said that elections will be held in the same assembly for which Imran Khan was trying to dissolve for a long time. He hinted at questioning the PTI lawmakers for their attempts to dissolve the assembly before the completion of the tenure.
\nRana Sanaullah said that PML-N will actively participate in the Punjab elections and PTI will be given a surprise in Punjab which will be bigger than Karachi. The interior minister said that PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif vowed to return to the country, however, consultation was not held yet regarding his expected return.
\nTo a question, he said that the country is bearing the brunt of Imran Khan\u2019s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the incumbent government will explain the reasons for the inflation to the nation.
\nEarlier in the day, Imran Khan, while meeting with senior journalists, hinted at returning to National Assembly for caretaker setup, claiming that his party was in contact with \u201cseveral Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmakers\u201d.
\n\u201cWe will test them (PML-N MNAs) first then will add them to party folds,\u201d Imran said, adding: \u201cIf we don\u2019t return to National Assembly then the government will form the caretaker setup in consultation with the opposition leader Raja Riaz\u201d.
\nThe PTI chairman further said that his party had decided to put Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to the test through \u201cdifferent plans\u201d, including a confidence vote in parliament. Imran Khan added that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was supposed to increase petroleum prices but did not, therefore, he claimed, International Monetary Fund (IMF) will not release funds.
\nIn response to another question, Khan said the future of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) was with PTI. \u201cIf PML-Q contests the election with the symbol of the bat then they will win. I also want this coalition mechanism to end,\u201d he further said. = DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
