Discuss poll dates or else will dissolve assemblies: Imran to federal government

Islamabad : Imran Khan on Friday warned that he will dissolve the assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces ruled by his party if the federal government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif does not sit down for talks and announce dates for the general elections.
Khan, 70, the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party last week announced that his lawmakers will resign from the provincial assemblies as he withdrew a threat to march on the capital Islamabad by saying that it would result in destruction.
During a speech to the Punjab Parliamentary Party on Friday, Khan said:”Considering all this, I have decided that either this will happen that they sit with us [and decide a date for the polls or] imagine that there will be an election in almost 66 percent of Pakistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab if we dissolve the assemblies.” “All these sitting 12-13 parties of the PDM will be taken out in the elections so, then the government will be frozen [if we dissolve the assemblies],” the former premier said.
He reiterated that “either they can sit with us and talk, give us a date for the general elections or else we will dissolve our assemblies.” Also Read Imran directs PTI leaders not to criticise new COAS, army Khan’s PTI is in power in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces.
