ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President Maulana Fazlur Rehman has summoned an important meeting of opposition parties today (Tuesday) to decide future political strategy following PPP and ANP’s exit from the alliance.
According to details, the meeting will take place at the residence of the JUI-F chief in Islamabad. Sources have informed that a total of eight parties have been invited to the meeting which will discuss the matter of PPP and ANP’s separation from alliance.
It will also decide the future course of action against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) led government. Last week, ANP formally announced to quit PDM and the PPP a day earlier asked its members to resign from their positions in the opposition alliance.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the party members will resign in protest of the attitude, conduct and actions of other office-bearers of the PDM. He reiterated that his party’s CEC wanted the resignations from the assemblies to be the “last resort”.
The alliance has been facing serious differences within its ranks over PPP’s Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani’s appointment as the Opposition Leader in Senate and the joint resignations of the opposition leaders from the assemblies to topple the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government.
