PTI Chairman Imran Khan has issued a message to the government to break away as many party members for the next three to four weeks but announce elections afterwards.

“Give yourself time. If you want to take two or three weeks then break away as many people as you want. At the rate you’re going, you have already broken many and many more will break … but it is my request to give a timeframe because the country is heading towards destruction.

“The economy is sinking … so give yourself a timeframe of two to three weeks but then announce elections when you think you’ve broken away enough people from the PTI that it’s no longer able of contesting elections.”
