Awami Muslim League President Sheikh Rashid Ahmed an ally of the PTI that has resolved to dissolve assemblies in the provinces where it is in power— said on Wednesday that the fate of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies would be decided in a week.
The former interior minister’s statement came in a tweet, in which he also criticised the government over the country’s economic situation.
“Today is the first day of the rescue operation. Institutions staying away from politics is praiseworthy, but institutions also cannot remain distant from their people,” Ahmed added, in an apparent reference to the army whose command was taken over by new Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir yesterday. “A decision on two provincial assemblies will be made within a week,” he added.(Islamabad)
