The Punjab Assembly has been dissolved, former information minister Fawad Ch said on Thursday.

“Parvez Elahi has signed the summary to dissolve the Punjab Assembly and forwarded it, the PTI leader told the media at Zaman Park in Lahore.

He added: “If the governor does not dissolve the assembly in two days, it will stand dissolved automatically.

 “We will write a letter to Hamza Shehbaz, leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly, for the establishment of a caretaker government. The elections will take place within 90 days.

“We will approach the public after dissolving the assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.”

He continued: “The PTI has been demanding the National Assembly speaker to accept the resignation of its members.

"It won’t make sense if two provinces, making up 70 per cent of the country, hold elections while the rest of the country doesn’t.”

He said the PTI is grateful to the PML-Q for its unwavering support in the tough times.

Fawad Ch made the announcement after the senior party leaders'  meeting with Imran Khan in the chair. The meeting reached a consensus to dissolve the provincial assemblies.

Parvez Elahi yesterday earned a vote of confidence from the Punjab Assembly after the opposition walked out crying foul. Speaker Sibtain Khan said Parvez Elahi got 186 votes while outside the Punjab Assembly, Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah described the session’s proceedings as “against the rules and Constitution”, and accused the speaker of bulldozing the vote of confidence.

The PTI has been on campaign for a snap poll since the ouster of Imran Khan from the prime minister's house in April last year. Imran Khan has been calling the regime change a conspiracy hatched by the US after he decided to devise an independent foreign policy.
