Pakistan: Key opposition PDM to hold virtual meeting today to decide future strategy
Islamabad/IBNS: Pakistan's key opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), will meet virtually on Monday to decide its strategy for the future.
The development was revealed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) leader Hafiz Hamdullah, who said that PDM President Maulana Fazlur Rehman had convened a virtual session of the party to discuss important issues such as the electronic voting machines, electoral reforms, the NAB ordinance and granting the right to vote to overseas Pakistanis, reports Geo News.
Political heavyweights, including former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif, Sardar Akhtar Mengal, Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Aftab Sherpao, Dr Abdul Malik, Professor Sajid Mir and Shah Owais Noorani, are scheduled to join the virtual meeting.
PDM spokesperson Hafiz Hamdullah was quoted as saying by Geo News that leaders of the Opposition alliance will consult each other on anti-government protests and finalise the PDM's strategy regarding it.
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday said the PDM will "win this war" against the government while he was addressing a protest against inflation in Karachi.
"We will win this war, and Pakistan will have a government that is truly representative of the people, which will understand the problems faced by the masses. The ones who [were imposed] are not aware of the public's issues," Fazl was quoted as saying by Geo News.
