Challenging Imran Khan govt: Pakistan's key opposition alliance PDM to start long march on Mar 26
Islamabad: The key opposition alliance of Pakistan-Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)- this week announced that it will jointly contest the coming Senate elections and “start” its anti-government long march to Islamabad on Mar 26, media reports said.
These decisions were announced by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief and PDM president Maulana Fazlur Rehman while briefing reporters after presiding over more than six hours long meeting of the heads of the constituent parties of the alliance here on Thursday, reports Dawn News.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Zardari also attended the crucial meeting.
Flanked by PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz and other PDM leaders, the Maulana said they had decided to devise a joint strategy for the Senate elections and the PDM constituent parties would not compete against each other and field joint candidates, reports Dawn News.
“The decision to hold a long march towards Islamabad has been taken. Caravans from all over the country will leave for Islamabad on March 26,” the Maulana was quoted as saying by the newspaper, while refusing to divulge further details of the plan.
