LAHORE: With an aim to keep Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on the same page, head of the opposition alliance Maulana Fazlur Rehman called on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz and Opposition Leader of Punjab Hamza Shehbaz in Jati Umra.

As per details, JUI-F head is meeting leadership to PML-N to discuss future strategy regarding long march and resignations from the parliament.

PDM has postponed long march for an indefinite period after the Pakistan People’s Party, key members of the alliance, refused to resign from assemblies and stressed to continue the movement from within the parliament.

Fazlur Rehman has said that apart from PPP, all parties have agreed on giving resignations from assemblies. He said that PPP has sought more time for consultation on the issue.

PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had said that be it long march or no-confidence motion against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif must return to Pakistan.

“This is not the first time that the democratic forces have encountered rigging,” he said and added he had spent 14 years of his life in jail.
