Islamabad: Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf on Monday decided to resign from the national assembly on a day when election for the new PM is scheduled to take place.
The decision was taken in a party's parliamentary meeting, which was chaired by PTI Chairman Imran Khan, at the Parliament House today afternoon, reports Dawn News.
"The parliamentary party has decided to resign from the assemblies against the imported government," PTI Central Information Secretary Farrukh Habib even confirmed the development in a tweet.
Murad Saeed was one of the first PTI leaders to tender his resignation as member of the NA.
Speaking to DawnNewsTV shortly afterwards, he confirmed that he made the decision in line with the party's narrative.
He reiterated the former prime minister's claims of a foreign conspiracy, stating that sitting in the NA after these revelations would be akin to be being a part of this plot.
"Should foreign powers have the right to make or break governments in Pakistan?" he asked.
