After back to back decisions of the Supreme Court and Election Commission of Pakistan pertaining to PTI dissidents who stand disqualified and de-seated, Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has reaffirmed that he is former prime minister Imran Khan’s candidate who will “dissolve the assembly within half an hour if the PTI chairman asks him to once he takes oath as the governor.”
Lambasting Jahangir Tareen and Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz during an exclusive interview with Express News on Friday, for spending a lot of money but to no avail, Elahi said turncoats who happen to be the members of the assembly have no political future.
“First of all, I am thankful to Allah Almighty,” he said, congratulating the election commission for strengthening the foundations of democracy.
The Punjab speaker added that PTI dissidents have become a warning sign for others and are left with no political future. “Tareen and Hamza threw a lot of money but the money did not help them.”
Responding to a question about Hamza becoming the CM, he said when the foundation of any work is weak it is like a house built on sand. “Those who built such a house would be buried in it and their name and mark would disappear.”
Elahi emphasised how he had been saying from day one that the CM election was wrong and even his oath taking. “Now it has been proved,” he said, adding that the next step would be to pick them up and throw them out.
