NEW DELHI: Members of Imran Khan’s party PTI resign from all the provincial assemblies in Pakistan, media reports said.
Imran Khan, addressing his first public rally since surviving an “assassination” attempt earlier this month, made the announcement at a rally in the garrison town of Rawalpindi.
However he did not give a date for the move.
The PTI is currently holds power in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Imran came out all guns blazing at the “establishment” once again during the rally.
The former Pakistan prime minister alleged that the “three criminals” who were behind the failed attempt on him are waiting to target him again.
The 70-year-old leader has repeatedly alleged that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, interior minister Rana Sanaullah and ISI Counter Intelligence Wing head Maj-Gen Faisal Naseer were behind the attack on him.
He also said that as prime minister, he did not receive full cooperation from certain quarters not directly under his control, like the National Accountability Bureau. “they received orders from behind from somewhere else,” Khan said, in a veiled reference to the military establishment.
This, he alleged, prevented him from bringing the powerful and corrupt to justice during his three-and-a-half years at the helm.
