Special Assistant to Prime Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Saturday that a conspiracy was hatched by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf against the country when the then deputy speaker Qasim Suri announced dissolution of the National Assembly unconstitutionally.
Later, two provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa were also dissolved by the PTI government illegally, he added. Addressing a press conference at Model Town, he said that the assembly could not be dissolved after a no confidence motion was presented in the house. It was unprecedented in the history that the votes cast in favour of the Pakistan Democratic Movement alliance candidate in the Punjab province were not counted and the members were also de-seated, he added.
The SAPM recalled that no meeting of the PTI parliamentary party in Punjab was held, and an attempt was made to rewrite the Constitution just to facilitate a political party. He said that it was surprising that elections were announced in Punjab whereas no decision was taken on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly.
