ISLAMABAD: The first rally of the Opposition’s Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a multiparty alliance, due to take place in Quetta on October 11 has been rescheduled.
According to details, the rally will now take place on October 18. The new date was announced by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl leader Abdul Ghafoor Haideri.
Moreover, a separate rally by the JUI-F that was scheduled to take place in Quetta on October 25 has also been postponed. No alternate date was provided.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz and other opposition leaders will address the October 18 Quetta rally.
PDM has been established by 11 Opposition parties seeking to oust the incumbent government over its failures in all sectors. The alliance appointed JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, as head of the ‘democratic movement’.
The decision was made in a virtual meeting of the alliance’s steering committee held on Saturday and announced by PML-N secretary-general Ahsan Iqbal.
Earlier today, science and technology minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the Opposition’s PDM is more like the “Pakistan incitement movement” and is about to fizzle out before taking off.
