Shahbaz, Fazl to mull over PDM’s future

PML-N President Shahbaz Shareef and President JUI-F Maulana Fazulur Rehman  are scheduled to hold a meeting today (Friday) to decide the fate of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

Shahbaz Shareef is traveling to Islamabad to meet the PDM chief and other members of the struggling opposition alliance.

The group is expected to take important decisions on whether the PPP and the ANP will be taken back into the alliance’s fold or not.

PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is also establishing contacts with PDM parties, a media report said.

The PPP chief went to Dubai where he met Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) chief Akhtar Mengal.

The PML-N president has also been focusing his efforts on bringing the PPP and the ANP back into the PDM fold to put pressure on the government once again.

Sources said the PML-N leadership is quite anxious as the gulf deepens between the two opposing camps and the party can disintegrate if the differences are not resolved.
