The former prime minister and Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Tuesday said that giving more relaxation to the incumbent government would be a bad omen for economy.

The participants included Punjab Health Minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Provincial Minister Sardar Asif Nakai, MNA Sardar Talib Hussain Nakai, MNA Brig (retd) Rahat Amanullah Bhatti, Provincial Minister Syed Ali Abbas Shah, MNA Malik Muhammad Amir Dogar and MPA Khurram Ijaz Chatha.
Matters pertaining to the dissolution of provincial assemblies and resignations were discussed. All the participants assured the party chief their complete support in the dissolution. The participants said that free and fair elections were the only solution to the issues the country was facing. Dissolution of assemblies was a big decision and it should be thoroughly deliberated before it can later be used to exert maximum pressure on the federal government, the sources said.
Imran Khan advised all the present members to prepare for elections adding that the party should be mobilize before elections. The members were taken into confidence regarding the roadmap to elections and protests.
Meanwhile Imran Khan on Tuesday condemned the incumbent government’s move to seal Centaurus Mall owned by the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Premier Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan.
According to the former premier, the mafia Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) actions suggested that there was a law of the jungle in Pakistan since [the] last eight months after the PTI’s removal through a no-confidence motion.
Imran Khan furthered that the action sent negative signals to Kashmiris too. Posing a question for the country’s judges, he asked if they were indeed the upholders of the law.
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry also took to his Twitter handle to comment on the event. Fawad claimed that Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir Sardar Tanveer Ilyas stood on his seat during PM Shehbaz’s speech and recorded a protest against Pakistan’s weak stance on Kashmir. “After this event, first his [AJK premier’s] car was stopped in Mangala, and today his business Centaurs Mall in Islamabad has been sealed,” he stated.
