LAHORE: After the abrupt dissolution of the National Assembly, Punjab Assembly is also likely to be dissolved soon, sources said Monday.
President Dr Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly on the advice of Prime Minister Imran Khan as the PTI government evaded the no-confidence motion against the premier.
Punjab Governor Omar Sarfaraz Cheema may ask former Punjab chief minister Usman Buzdar to take charge as caretaker Punjab CM, they added.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed Punjab governor has been summoned to Islamabad where he will meet Prime Minister Imran Khan today.
Sources close to the matter said that the premier would guide Cheema over the strategy to be applied next amid the ongoing political turmoil.
Meanwhile, PM Imran Khan also summoned Buzdar and PTI senator Mehmoodur Rasheed to the federal capital.
