Nawaz will personally reach out to PDM leaders regarding long march, resignations

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will personally reach out to members of the Pakistan Democratic Movement to develop a consensus on the matters of a long march and assembly resignations.

As per sources, Nawaz will speak to PPP President Asif Ali Zardari and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who also heads the 11-party Opposition alliance. Sources claims that Nawaz will "try and convince" the PPP to agree to the proposed route of resigning en masse from the assemblies and marching down to Islamabad.

Prior to this, PML-N is expected to present its stance on the two moves in a meeting of the PDM tomorrow. A meeting was held on Tuesday night at former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's house on the need to adopt a clear stance on the anti-government drive.

The meeting was attended by senior PML-N leaders which included Maryam Nawaz, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ahsan Iqbal, Marriyum Aurangzeb, Javed Latif, Khawaja Saad Rafique and Pervaiz Rasheed.
