Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman refused the proposal of his government to change the venue of the sit-in from the Supreme Court (SC) to D-Chowk in Islamabad.
According to media reports Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah called on Maulana Fazl and conveyed the government’s suggestion of changing the venue.
But he said that the program of a sit-in outside the Supreme Court was decided in the PDM summit with mutual consultation and the workers have also conveyed in this regard.
While many workers have left their homes with the determination to stage a sit-in outside the SC so now this matter has come to the people’s court and he cannot take it back.
Federal Minister Ishaq Dar said that the situation in the country worsened a few days ago, so the federal government wants PDM to protest at D-Chowk.
On the appeal of the federal ministers, Maulana Fazlur Rehman assured them that their workers are peaceful and there will be a peaceful protest outside the SC as not a single pot or plant will be damaged.
