Senior leader of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Javed Hashmi has asked Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to dissolve the parliament forthwith to hold early elections.
Addressing a massive rally of PTI supporters after his arrival at Multan airport from Karachi on Tuesday, Hashmi said his suggestion was “in the best interest of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani” considering numerous crises and lawlessness.
“As a patriotic Pakistani and a well-wishing advisor in good faith, I strongly advise the prime minister that instead of clinging to the rule, he should immediately dissolve the parliament and hold early elections,” said Hashmi, who defected to the PTI on Saturday after ending his decades-long association with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
“I say this in light of my 45-year political experience, as after carefully observing the scenario I can state that the masses had already pinned their hopes with Imran Khan,” he said.
Hashmi said that Imran Khan had personally visited him with a request to join the PTI to save Pakistan. “I asked for some time to ponder over the offer, but Imran was adamant and I had to join the PTI after a comprehensive consensus with friends and family,” he said.
Earlier at Karachi airport, Hashmi said that he was not perturbed over leaving the PML-N, and would send his resignation and that of his daughter Mamoona Hashmi from the National Assembly to Nawaz Sharif in the next couple of days.
He supported the creation of new provinces, including Saraiki, Bahawalpur and Potohar, saying it would lead to smaller administrative units and would resolve the basic problems of the people. He criticised the Punjab government for depriving the masses of southern Punjab of their legitimate rights.
He said there were examples of hereditary politics in other countries of the world, but the capability of the leadership was a precondition. He said political parties organised around the rules of dictatorship could not practice democracy in the country.
