ISLAMABAD: Following the removal of former prime minister Imran Khan from power through a no-confidence motion, senior PTI leader and former minister for information and broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry announced Sunday that his party members would resign from the National Assembly tomorrow (Monday) if the nomination of PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif is accepted.
Speaking to journalists on Sunday alongside former energy minister Hammad Azhar and former state minister for information Farrukh Habib, Fawad said that PTI chief Imran Khan chaired a meeting of the party’s core committee in Bani Gala where he reiterated that his ouster was part of a regime-change operation back by foreign powers.
“When decisions related to a country’s internal affairs are made from outside, it’s the biggest sign of its slavery.”
The ex-information minister said that his party had sent all declassified documents to the speaker of the NA as well as the chief justice of Pakistan.
He said that the PTI has nominated former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi as the candidate for the prime minister’s slot.
