ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership has decided against participating in Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) March 28 public gathering in Islamabad, ARY News reported citing sources.
As per sources privy to the matter, the PPP has decided to send its delegation for joint opposition’s power show in Islamabad while central leaders including party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former president Asif Ali Zardari would not participate in Islamabad public rally.
The party workers will not be called to attend PDM public meetings, as PPP wants to confine the battle to the parliament instead of focussing on street show, they said.
It is to be mentioned here that in the PPP long march that concluded in Islamabad’s D-Chowk on March 8, the PDM parties—PML-N and JUI-F had sent delegations to attend the public meeting as a show of solidarity.
