PTI Chairman Imran Khan has announced that his party has decided not to remain part of the current political system and will instead resign from all the assemblies.

“We will not be part of this system. We have decided to quit all the assemblies and get out of this corrupt system.”

It is pertinent to mention here that Imran’s PTI is in power in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Imran said the PTI had decided not to go to Islamabad to avert any destruction or chaos. He added that he would soon be meeting his chief ministers and the parliamentary party about the matter and would soon make the announcement about when the party would leave the assemblies.
