Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leaders noted on Friday that efforts were being made to bring back ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif into mainstream politics by amending laws. They also discussed possibility of early elections in the country.
PTI chief Imran Khan held two important meetings on Friday one with the party's parliamentarians and the other with its vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi and other leaders. The PTI leadership observed that there were visible signs of division in the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and discussed the future course of politics, including the dissolution of the government and call for early elections. The most important discussion, however, was on the Election Bill, 2017 which was approved by the Senate on Friday."This bill could be a smokescreen by the government to bring Nawaz Sharif back into mainstream politics," Mr Khan said, adding that it could lead to another controversy as the former prime minister had been restricted by the apex court from heading a political party.
