ISLAMABAD: On Thursday Rejecting media reports of his exclusion from anti-government coalition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that he is not quitting chairmanship of the 11-party alliance.
The PDM leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the news items, being relayed on different channels in this regard hold no degree of truth.
PDM Leader said that he was not quitting the chairmanship of PDM.
He said, those fomenting such false news are scared of PDM’s popularity. However, no cracks can be created in the ranks of PDM through such false news items. No such talks were held with Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman went on to say PDM has achieved its 70% objectives and more important decisions will be taken in this regard in PDM’s February 4 summit meeting.
The Maulana was elected PDM chief on October 03, 2020 after his name was proposed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to head the Opposition alliance while PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto endorsed it..
Fazlur Rehman is a centre right-wing Pakistani Deobandi politician and current president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI).
He is the acting president of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a coalition of establishment political parties formed to resist the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf adminstration of Imran Khan.
