ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Saturday that PTI chief Imran Khan would never dissolve Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies as they allegedly helped him run his kitchen, arrange public gatherings, and protect him, his wife, Bushra Bibi, and her friend Farah Khan “against their corruption, loot and plunder”.

“The coalition government is not afraid of Imran Khan, who … does not have the courage to dissolve the assemblies, which he believes will help him save his skin in foreign funding, Toshakhana and other cases,” she told a presser.

“We have all the options before us and have every right to exercise them as the country does not and cannot afford political instability,” she said, reiterating that the government would complete its term and the general elections would be held in October 2023.
