Earlier on June 26, the opposition’s all parties conference (APC) had witnessed disagreement and disarray among its ranks when the members reportedly discouraged demands of collective resignation from the National Assembly.

Sources said the opposition leaders gathered at the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief’s call to devise a mechanism to further protests and initiation of a possible street agitation against the current government and its policies was met with stiff dissent from among their ranks with the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) airing reservations over the call.

JUI-F, Awami National Party (ANP) and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PK-MAP) had been revealed as those in favour of the decision to resign. JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman was the one who came up with the idea of collective resignations.
