RAWALPINDI: The head of Awami Muslim League (AML) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that by accepting 35 resignations of PTI MNAs, National Assembly Speaker has actually exposed the frightened leadership of the PML-N.
His comments came a day after Speaker National Assembly Raja Pervez Ashraf on Tuesday accepted the resignations of 35 PTI lawmakers after Imran Khan hinted at party’s return to the National Assembly in order to ensure that the dissident PTI legislators should not give vote of confidence to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif if he would be asked by President Arif Alvi to go for it.
Taking to Twitter, Sheikh Rashid warned that the country would further plunge into economic chaos if elections were not held on time. “The coalition government hit the panic button when Imran Khan just gave a signal of his party’s return to the assemblies,” he said, adding that the decision of accepting the resignations had damaged the government itself.
حکمرانوں کی نام نہاد جمہوریت بے نقاب ہوگئی ہےجو سپیکر کہتا تھا کہ میں ایک ایک کا استعفیٰ منظور کروں گا اس نے 35 استعفے منظور کر کے نون لیگ کی خوفزدہ قیادت کو بے نقاب کر دیا ہےجس طرح ملک تباہی کی طرف جارہا ہے اگر بروقت قدم نہ اٹھایا تو یہ ملک بدنظمی اورمعاشی تباہی کی طرف چلاجائےگا

He said such moves would prove futile as only elections were the suitable solution to the prevailing chaotic situation. He announced that he would hold a press conference in London on Thursday.
