LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan believed that establishment would go for elections in April.

Speaking to delegation of journalists, he said elections will have to happen in case of dissolution of two assemblies, adding that it will not bother PTI if elections delay, once assemblies will be dissolved.

Clarifying on why PTI delayed process of dissolving assemblies, Khan said that to convince allies, his party did not opt to immediately dissolve assemblies.
