Reiterating his demanded of FATA merger with KP Imran warned Fazalur Rehman was playing a dangerous game on the issue as he feared if FATA merges with KP the entire credit will go to PTI.
Replying to a query he warned that old system has been wrapped up in FATA that has created a space and if it lasted more time it can be led to terrorism again in the tribal areas.
“Delay in merger of FATA and KP is the cruelty done with the people of the areas and Pakistan as only given access to court of tribal people is not enough and its entire system immediately should be emerged with KP,” he said.
He confirmed that he has received resignations of the party members.
He said that the final decision regarding the resignations will be taken after consultations with senior PTI leaders.
Earlier today, a session of the PTI’s central executive committee (CEC) was held. Sources had informed that the party members had given the authority to decide on resignations from assemblies to Imran Khan.
The session had concluded that Imran’s decision on resignations of party members from the assemblies would be final.
During the meeting, committee members also proposed suggestions for nominations on party tickets for the upcoming general elections.
The CEC approved, during the session, the process for concluding the party’s membership drive and passed motions of solidarity with Palestine and Kashmir.
Two factions in the party seemed to have emerged — one in favour of resignations from the assembly, and the other strongly opposed to it.
The group opposed to resignations from assemblies and dissolving the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa legislature reasons that PTI would not be able to claim its share in the caretaker government if it takes the extreme measure, sources said.
Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah earlier said on Monday that after Imran’s statements denouncing the parliament, the resignations of the party’s lawmakers should have come immediately.
On Monday, the Sindh Assembly passed a resolution condemning Imran Khan and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed’s remarks against the parliament.
The resolution stated that Imran insulted the parliament by hurling abuses at it, adding that Imran should apologise to the nation.
At the joint opposition rally on January 17 in Lahore, Imran had cursed the parliament for allowing Nawaz Sharif’s re-election as the party head after his disqualification.
“I give laanat (curse) the parliament that made a criminal the president of a party,” he said, in an apparent reference to ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif being elected the PML-N president.
Imran’s remarks followed the repeated cursing of the Parliament from Rasheed, who also announced his resignation from the assembly.
