LAHORE: Former Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan reacting to Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s statement in favour of ex-COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa said that PTI and PML-Q would contest elections together apart from differences.

Sources said Imran Khan told PTI stalwarts not to change their narrative and not to get confused with CM Elahi’s statement.  PTI Chief added that both parties would contest elections together apart from differences, sources added.

 Earlier, Imran Khan reiterated that former Army Chief Bajwa was solely responsible for ousting his government and creating economic and political crises in country.  Mr Khan said he wanted an inquiry into American cypher as he was not certain of its involvement in overthrowing him but PTI held Bajwa solely responsible.

Speaking to international media, he said Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf were two independent parties as PML-Q had its distinctive policy towards Bajwa and it had right to negotiate with PML-N. He said NAB was controlled by Bajwa who gave everyone an NRO without his Imran’s consent. “Parvez Elahi has sent me written advice calling for assembly dissolution and I shall send advice to Punjab Governor on Friday”, he added.
