Fazl says PM Imran Khan criticising ECP to place pressure on commission over foreign funding case
The JUI-F chief spoke about the ECP also .
"We believe blaming the ECP [for their loss] in Senate election isn't the matter," he said. "We believe he [PM Imran Khan] blamed the ECP to place pressure on them [to not pursue] the foreign funding case."
'Everything is out of his hands'
When asked how he read the prime minister's actions of meeting lawmakers and holding party meetings immediately after the Senate elections, Fazl said that it had been a mirrored image that the prime minister was shaken by the defeat.
"There is not any executive at the instant . there's no government," he said, adding that "everything is out of his [PM Imran Khan's] hands".
"He should announce new elections immediately and let a replacement government get elected."
When asked to discuss whether the PDM's absence from the National Assembly's session tomorrow will strengthen the government's move, Fazl said it might not.
"The importance of his whole narrative are going to be eliminated," he said. "They formed a fake government and are involved in one-sided procedures from day one," the JUI-F chief added.
When asked whether the PDM intended to start the long march from Karachi, he said a technique would be developed. "Caravans will travel from everywhere," he said.
