LAHORE: The Pakistan-Nawaz Muslim League and the People's Party of Pakistan seem reluctant to join the next possible move by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who is currently leading a sit-in in Islamabad, as both have entrusted their respective central bodies to submit a & # 39; well thought out decision.
The elders of the PML-N will meet here at the Model Town residence of the party's president, Shahbaz Sharif, here on Monday (today) to discuss the national political scene and the multi-party conference JUI-F of Maulana Fazl will celebrate the matter , while the president of the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, declared in Bahawalpur that only the CEC will make a decision in this regard.
The guests of the Model City consultation included members of the central parliamentary group of the PML-N in the National Assembly, as well as some members of the central executive committee. Participants will also receive instructions given by their supreme leader, Nawaz Sharif.
“The president of the party, Shahbaz Sharif, has met with the central group almost daily since the development of the current political scene. One of the meetings was held even today (Sunday). But, the difference in Monday's session is that some members of the CEC will also be part of it, "said a senior party official. Dawn.
The party was unlikely to take a step forward to join the sit-in, the official said, arguing that the "evil" precedent set by Tehreek-i-Insaf from Pakistan would be further advanced to try to expel an elected government through the street power.
“What they (PTI) did to our government requires an eye-to-eye response. But we don't want to cement a bad precedent, particularly when we, as the government on hold, see ourselves as the only option for the people due to the failure of the PTI in solving the problems facing the country and the masses. "
PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal says they have not yet made any decision on the sit-in and insists that the Rehbar Committee of opposition parties formed to make joint decisions on Azadi's march is intact and are united in Your demands from the PTI government.
The PPP president told the media in Bahawalpur that his party wholeheartedly supported all the demands of the Azadi march from day one, but it was not yet part of the sit-in.
He said his party owned and supported all the demands of the march, but the decision to join the sit-in was conditional on the approval of the CEC of the PPP.
In defending the statement of the head of the JUI-F on the arrest of the prime minister, he said that Maulana Fazl had not announced that he would drag or trap the prime minister and that Maulana had just given a political statement.
He added that what Maulana had said after noticing the presence of hundreds of thousands of people in the sitting that "the crowd could expel the selected and inefficient prime minister."
He said the government lacked a public mandate and, instead, was selected and turned out to be a total failure on all fronts. He claimed that "fascist" rulers had always been threatening the opposition and, as such, now the government should not object to Maulana's statement.
