ISLAMABAD – Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) yesterday said that Pakistan Democratic Movement was not a private limited company which will be led by an owner.<\/p>\n
PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bokhari said the PPP wanted the PDM to stay united but believes in understanding and negotiation. \u201cDomination and coercion are not acceptable under any circumstances. PDM is a political partnership process and no institution or company,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Bokhari said all the big and small parties involved in PDM had equal status and importance. \u201cUnder the PDM declaration, it is necessary to abide by collective decision and not individual,\u201d he said. The PPP, he said, was the majority opposition party in the Senate and the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) had the right to lead the opposition in the National Assembly and Punjab Assembly where they are the second largest party. \u201cThe JUI-F (Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam \u2013 Fazal) has the right to lead the opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Bokhari added that PPP is the creator of the constitution and the guardian of democracy. \u201cPPP laid the foundation for restoration of democracy movements. PDM was also formed under the auspices of PPP. Our party is not subordinate to anyone. The head of PDM is Maulana Fazlur Rehman and he has also suspended his activities (due to illness),\u201d he pointed out. <\/p>\n
\u201cDomination and coercion are not acceptable under any circumstances\u201d<\/p>\n
Bokhari said a meeting of PDM headed by senior vice president of PDM Raja Pervez Ashraf can be convened to discuss the issues. <\/p>\n
He said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was the son of Benazir Bhutto and has been leading the fight for real democracy. Bokhari reminded that the nation was aware of those who fought and sacrificed for the sake of democracy and parliament and those who were brought up in the lap of a dictator.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, PPP leader Senator Palwasha Khan said PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had taken u-turn on the \u2018show cause notice\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night a show cause notice was released and by this morning it has turned into an explanation and tomorrow PML-N will express its shame on it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She reminded that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif apologized to former president Asif Ali Zardari \u201cfor fabricating corruption cases\u201d against him. \u201cthe show cause is ridiculous .\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
