Manzoor Wassan sees National Assembly dissolving in next three months

PPP leader dismisses possibility of Nawaz Sharif returning as prime minister in current political scenario

KARACHI:

Senior Vice President of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh, Manzoor Wassan, has predicted that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif might dissolve the National Assembly within the next three months.

While forecasting the political future of the country, Wassan remarked that the next three months are crucial for national politics. He expressed doubt over Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif becoming the prime minister in the current setup.

"After the dissolution of the National Assembly, we will see what kind of setup emerges," Wassan stated. "However, the remaining provincial assemblies will stay intact."

Wassan further commented on the political climate for the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and other politicians.

"I do not foresee favourable conditions for the PTI founder and other politicians. Even if they receive relief, it is often short-lived. The PTI founder should not remain in a state of delusion," he warned.

In a similar prediction by incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan, he claimed on March 20 that the current government would last only five or six months and until then, he would stay in jail and awaited the departure of PML-N supremo to London.

Imran Khan reiterated his scepticism regarding the longevity of the current government, predicting its demise within five or six months.

Imran underscored the importance of political stability in the country, otherwise, he warned that the money borrowed from the IMF would go to waste.
