Sources told Dawn.com that some PTI politicians from KP have also opposed the idea of quitting the government, however the PTI leadership says the decision regarding KP would be taken in consultation with coalition partners.
The JI Chief Sirajul Haq has reiterated to save the KP government even if the PTI goes ahead with the resignations.
The JI, despite being in coalition with the PTI in KP, has dissociated itself from the 'Azadi March' and has vowed to save democracy at all costs.
The JI senior minister Inayatullah earlier speaking to Dawn.com said that they are opposed to the PTI's civil disobedience call and would not support any unconstitutional means on dissolution of assemblies.
On the other hand, opposition parties sources say are planning to move a no-confidence move in the assembly against the Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak as a legal move to stop the dissolution of the KP assembly by the chief executive if the crisis worsens.
