Pakistan’s ruling coalition leaders term Imran Khan’s decision to resign from assemblies as acceptance of his failure

Top leaders of Pakistan’s ruling coalition on Sunday termed former premier Imran Khan’s decision to resign from the provincial assemblies as acceptance of his failure to force the government to announce early elections.

The reaction came after 69-year-old Khan on Saturday announced to resign from provincial assemblies as he withdrew a threat to march on capital Islamabad by saying that it would result in destruction.

Khan made the announcement in his first in-person address to the party workers in Rawalpindi after the failed assassination bid on his life earlier this month.
