LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Monday expressed distrust in his ally Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi, saying allegations of corruption worth billions against the PML-Q leader were apparently affecting his popularity.
“I cannot stand such allegations against my coalition government in Punjab,” Mr Khan said in a meeting with the party’s senior leaders. The former premier asserted that all PTI legislators in the Punjab Assembly should persuade Mr Elahi to take a vote of confidence and dissolve the assembly.
The remarks made by the PTI chairman prompted a visit from CM Elahi to Zaman Park in the evening. The Punjab CM convinced Imran Khan that his party was standing behind PTI wholeheartedly.
