Imran 'missed out' on election chance, says Irfan.

ISLAMABAD -- PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui revealed on Sunday that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was ready to step down in May to pave the way for general elections in September 2022.

'Elections were offered to Imran on a platter but he missed out on this golden opportunity because of his stubbornness, obstinacy, and bullying,' he claimed while talking to reporters.

He said Nawaz Sharif was not in favour of a no-trust motion against Imran Khan because he believed that if allowed to continue, Imran Khan's government would ultimately implode under the weight of its own anti-people policies.

He said it was only after a great deal of convincing that Nawaz Sharif agreed - but with a condition that after Mr Khan's removal, the PDM government would enact necessary legislation and immediately resign. It was also decided that Shehbaz Sharif would resign by May 25.
