PDM summons meeting tomorrow regarding resignations issue

The leaders of the Opposition parties’ anti-government coalition under the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) banner have called a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the resignations issue, PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz has said.

Talking to media, Maryam Nawaz said tomorrow’s meeting would make it clear where the Opposition parties stood on the resignations. “We will try to persuade those who do not agree to resigning,” she added.

“Today’s meeting was chaired by [PML-N Supremo] Nawaz Sharif and Hamza [Shehbaz] and other leaders from Lahore participated” in it as well, she said.

The PML-N leader noted that it was very “encouraging” that the people had responded to “our calls” for justice. “Pakistan will step towards a better future,” she added.

“The PDM is a coalition of 10 parties and remains united on a larger agenda,” she said, noting that her party, the PML-N, stood for principle and was together under Nawaz Sharif’s leadership.

“Tomorrow’s meeting will see what strategy the PML-N has to adopt,” she added.

She also criticised the PTI regime for its “attempt at the worst rigging [during the Senate election]”, which she said the entire Pakistan witnessed and “rejected.”
