Fazlur Rehman hints at changing long march plan

PDM chief says long march won't be required if date of no-trust move is finalised

Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) head Maulana Fazlur Rehman has hinted at changing the long march plan if the opposition finalises the date of a no-trust move against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government.

Rehman, while talking to journalists in Khanpur on Monday, said that PDM long march would no longer be needed to be held if the date of the no-trust move is finalised.

The PDM head said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had departed due to ailment and he would return to the country after recovering. He added that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Quaid did not consult him prior to departing abroad nor he would get his opinion to return home.

“Asif Ali Zardari is currently admitted at a hospital but we will meet him soon. We will announce the date of the no-trust move after holding consultations. We have expedited our contacts with the ally parties of the government,” Rehman maintained.
