LAHORE - Leader of the Opposition in Senate Aitzaz Ahsan on Monday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan would have to give up his demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Talking to journalists here outside the Lahore High Court building, he said that no body could forcibly take resignation of the prime minister. Assemblies could only be dissolved on the advice of prime minister, he said.
Aitzaz said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would never resign. Time had changed and there was no dictator in the country, who could seek resignation from an elected prime minister.
In the presence of a free media and an independent judiciary, the government could not be toppled at the whim of marchers, he said. Commenting on the decision of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) to leave the Sindh government, he said that there was no reason for the decision as the MQM could not remain out of power for a long time.
Talking about the public gathering of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), he said that the number of participants was not in millions, but they were in thousands. PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri only presented his electoral manifesto in one and a half hour speech.
He said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Q was a small party and real PML workers were still with Pakistan Muslim League-N. Replying to a question, he said that there were no chances of mid-term election.
