According to Sources Fazlur Rehman informed Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif of their concerns.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman has threatened to step down as head of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), an alliance of opposition parties. According to details, sources said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman has threatened to resign from the post of PDM chief. Maulana Fazlur Rehman complained that the announcement to participate in the by-election was made without taking the PDM into confidence. The announcement to participate in the Senate election was also made in the media.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman is of the view that PML-N and PPP are imposing their decisions on PDM. When Bilawal and Maryam have to make their own decisions then why I was given the leadership. He said that it was decided that every decision would be taken in consultation with the PDM parties. He said that the smaller parties had concerns that the PPP and PML-N were using it.
He complained that leaders of other parties also had concerns. Sources said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman has conveyed his concerns to former President Asif Ali Zardari and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. On which Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif while talking to Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that unity should be maintained. Both the leaders told Maulana Fazlur Rehman that only your strength can take the PDM forward.
Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif assured Maulana Fazlur Rehman that no further complaint would be received, every decision would be taken in consultation. Keep in mind that news of differences in the PDM has been circulating for a long time. Senior journalist and analyst Arif Hameed Bhatti had also reported that he does not seem to be succeeding in ground reality. According to my information and according to Bilawal House, Maulana Fazlur Rehman has complained a lot to Asif Zardari and said that he is sabotaging the decisions of PDM.
We are not reaching any final conclusion. People are not leaving with us. We need to clarify the position of the PPP. Maulana Fazlur Rehman has complained to Asif Ali Zardari that you are making us lonely and alone. PDM is dying its own death. To which Asif Ali Zardari said that Maulana Sahib you are respectable and honorable but you have never been in a position to form a government in Pakistan. I know Pakistan politics the way you handle PDM will hurt. We will use all kinds of force but when the time comes, I will not overthrow Imran Khan’s government by any unconstitutional and illegal move.
