Dissolution of assemblies an option if it benefits ruling party politically: Asif

'Ruling parties always have this option. There has been no discussion on this as yet. But if it comes to that, and if we face a situation which calls for it, then we might go for it, the foreign minister said in an interview to a private channel

The PML-N leader said that while there is nothing wrong with political alliances, holding rallies, and criticising the government, politics of lies and in the name of religion is saddening.

?Previously there used to be anti-Bhutto politics and now anti-Nawaz politics has become rampant,? he said.

Rafique's comments come amid the increasing calls for resignations from political opponents, the latest being demands for Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif to step down.

An unprecedented alliance of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PAT Chief Tahirul Qadri on Thursday demanded Shehbaz?s resignation in the wake of the Model Town inquiry report.
