KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party leader Sherry Rehman on Sunday has said that her party was ready to hold peaceful long march and protest against the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Addressing a press conference, the PPP senator said that her party doesn’t believe in the politics of resignation.
Earlier, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that Senate opposition leader was PPP’s right, no one should object on this adding that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate was controversial in our party.
Bilawal Bhutto while addressing a press conference revealed that no name was agreed in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for Senate opposition leader. He requested the PML-N friends to stay calm, adding that he didn’t expect PML-N to react like Imran Khan after the defeat of the Senate candidate.
Earlier on March 17, in less than a week after jointly contesting elections for top Senate offices, cracks within the ranks of the opposition’s PDM became visible when the alliance leadership announced postponement of their March 26 anti-govt long march due to differences over the issue of submitting en masse resignations from the assemblies.
Talking to media Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the PPP had sought more time to reconsider its position on the issue of en masse resignations and till the time the PPP would come back after an in-house discussion in its Central Executive Committee (CEC), the long march stood “postponed”.
