ISLAMABAD -UNS: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will announce his next plan of action in an “important” address tomorrow (Thursday), a senior party leader said.
In a press conference in Lahore on Wednesday, PTI Focal Person for Economy Hammad Azhar said that the party would hold a “huge” demonstration outside Punjab Governor’s House at 5pm to record its protest.
The former PM emphasised the value of the rule of law again when speaking to a delegation of lawyers at his Zaman Park residence, claiming that without it, the nation could not advance. It is imperative to cease bowing to the United States in order to preserve the rule of law in the nation, Mr. Khan continued.
The political situation in Punjab is tense as Governor Baligh-ur-Rehman — belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) — had summoned a session today for a vote of confidence pertaining to Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi.
But defying the directives, Speaker of the Punjab Assembly Sibtain Khan — a PTI member — termed the order against the constitution and adjourned an ongoing session till Friday.
In response, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah threatened that the government would issue a declaration at 4pm today — which is still not out — to remove Elahi as the chief minister.
The PTI has decided to all-out oppose any move that the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led opposition throws its way and called for a protest outside the Governor’s House.
