Will dissolve assembly if ordered: Punjab CM
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi on Thursday announced supporting every decision of Imran Khan.
Elahi along with his son Moonis Elahi, and MNA Hussain Elahi called on the Pakistan Tehreek-einsaf (PTI) Chairman at his residence in Lahore.
Elahi family enquired about the health of Imran and discussed the current political situation and administrative maters in Punjab during the meeting.
They reviewed the rules of procedure of the Punjab Assembly in detail. They also considered the technical aspects of the rules and regulations of the provincial assembly of Punjab.
Elahi said that there will be no delay in dissolving the Punjab Assembly on the direction of Imran because they fully support those with whom they stand.
As per a TV report, a decisive meeting of the Punjab parliamentary party has been called on Friday.
The report said, in the parliamentary party meeting, there will be a final consultation about the future of the Punjab Assembly.
Elahi informed Imran about the ongoing programme of providing relief to the people in Punjab.
Separately, the PTI filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking early decision in foreign funding cases against the PML-N, the PPP and other political parties.
PTI leader Farrukh Habib filed a separate petition in a pending case in the High Court. He has named the Election Commission of
Pakistan (ECP) as a respondent in the case. He also requested the court to order the top election body to hear prohibited funding cases of other parties on a daily basis.
The former minister argued in his application that delay in decisions in case against other political parties was giving an opportunity to them to take political advantage of the “false report” against the Imran-led party. Stating the fundamental rights of PTI members are being violated, the petition said that questions raised in the application should be answered to safeguard democracy.
In August this year, the ECP announced its verdict in the prohibited funding case against the PTI.
It ruled that the party received funds from business tycoon Arif Naqvi and 34 foreign nationals.
It went on to say that the party had taken ownership of eight accounts and kept 16 hidden.
