ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership will consider today a proposal to give a deadline to the government for scientific voter verification in four NA constituencies or its MNAs will quit the legislature in protest. Party sources revealed that the proposal would be discussed in the upcoming meeting of the core committee today.
A detailed discussion will be held on the party’s future line of action, keeping in view the latest political situation in the wake of arrival and strategy of Pakistan Awami Tehreek Dr Muhammad Tahirul Qadri in the meeting.
It is pertinent to mention here that Imran has repeatedly announced that the PTI was not forming an alliance with Dr Qadri’s PAT. All the concerned four seats were won by the Pakistan Muslim League-N candidates while the PTI has been expressing its apprehensions about the way these were won by the now ruling party.
“There is a likelihood the decision-making forum will approve the resignation proposal and then PTI Chairman Imran will formally give a deadline to the government in the public meeting on June 27 in Bahawalpur,” sources maintained.
According to the National Assembly’s website, the PTI has a total of 34 legislators in the National Assembly: 27 elected on general seats, six on reserved seats while one made way to the legislature on minority seat.
