On Thursday, Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman discussed Opposition lawmakers' resignations from the Parliament and the Pakistan Democratic Movement's (PDM) strategy for the coming days.
The PDM had an important meeting on Tuesday after which the alliance announced it had decided to postpone its anti-government long march, which was scheduled to begin March 26.
Nine parties of the PDM had given their approval to resigning from the Parliament but the PPP had objected to the move. The party sought time from the alliance and said it would make up its mind in a meeting of its Central Executive Committee. The meeting has been called on April 4.
Sources said that Nawaz and Fazl decided that if the PPP does not agree to resign from the Parliament then the other nine political parties that are part of the PDM will announce their plan of action.
Both Fazl and Nawaz decided to summon an important meeting of the PDM after PPP makes its decision, sources claimed.
