“At the rate you’re going, you have already broken many and many more will break away,” Imran said referring to the desertions from his party in recent days.

“Break away as many as you in two to three weeks but then announce elections when you think PTI will not be able to compete,” he said.

He added that the Pakistan had become unlivable due to its economic conditions, especially for its salaried class.

“Do not destroy the country just to keep me out,” he said.
