ISLAMABAD: A day after PTI Chairman Imran Khan walked back his offer for talks with government for snap polls, party leader Fawad Chaudhry said that ex-premier “has directed (provincial) assembly members to return to their constituencies and prepare for elections”.

In a tweet Fawad added that “If PDM continues to run away from elections, we will go for provincial elections of Punjab and (Khyber) Pakhtunkhwa and elections for National Assembly would be held later”. In tweet KP government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif assured PTI leadership that “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly would be dissolved on order of Imran Khan”. Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, in a tweet yesterday once again reiterated his support for Imran.

“We are waiting for Imran’s signal to dissolve Punjab Assembly. We remain loyal to whom we support.” Elahi also professed his loyalty towards Imran, saying, “We are standing by Imran Khan and will continue to stand by him.” Today, PTI ally Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rasheed said, “Either Imran will get date for elections by December 30 or will break up assemblies, ball is in government’s court on whether they make or break politics.”
