Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday at a public meeting in Rawalpindi that his party has decided to resign from all Assemblies, as per the local media reports.
“We will not be part of this system. We have decided to quit all the assemblies and get out of this corrupt system,” Pakistani national daily The Dawn reported.
It is worth noting that Imran's PTI is currently in power in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Imran stated that the PTI has chosen not to travel to Islamabad in order to avoid any devastation or mayhem. He added that he would soon meet with his top ministers and the parliamentary party to discuss the issue and that he would shortly declare when the party will depart the assembly.
Imran has stated that his party did not travel to Rawalpindi for elections or political purposes.
Rather, he stated that new elections were necessary for the country.
Imran stated that he was unconcerned about elections because they will be held in nine months and his party would win.
According to The Dawn, the long march, led by Imran Khan, aims to force elections by displaying public support.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif lashed the former Prime Minister of Pakistan by calling the march the "most unsuccessful long march".
"The most unsuccessful long march, one drama and lie after another, but the truth is that Imran's 9-year plan, the plan to end the government through conspiracy, the plan to bring his favorite chief, the plan to interfere in the appointment of the chief, the new The plan to make the chief controversial, all the plans failed miserably. This is the end of conspiracies!" she tweeted.
