ANP separates from PDM

“Bilawal Bhutto Does Not Need To Apologize Anyone”: Palwasha Khan

Palwasha Khan

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Palwasha Khan has said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was a kind of coalition.

Speaking to host Jameel Farooqui in BOL News’ program National Debate, Palwasha Khan said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has always tried to wall off PPP and ANP.

She further questioned, Does PDM aim to bring down the government or to bring down PPP?

Palwasha further added that with all these tactics, only the incumbent government will have benefits.

“Every government has to give an account of its 5-year performance,” she said adding, “Bilawal Bhutto and PPP actually formed the PDM.”

“PPP did not express withdrawal in PDM,” she added.

The PPP leader went on to add that these people should end the politics of pushing down the ANP.

“They have to point out the differences and lacks within the PML-N,” said Palwasha.

She added that these people have joined hands together, PPP has nothing to do with them.

Referring to the showcase notice served to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, Khan added that Bilawal does not need to apologize anyone.

Earlier, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari reportedly tore apart the show-cause notice issued to it by the PDM in a clear message to the alliance that the future relied entirely on mutual respect.

The PDM already suffered a blow when the Awami National Party (ANP) quit over its hijacking by some member parties.

On the other hand, PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman had expressed displeasure over Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) political behaviour and said that they ‘must admit their mistake.’

It is worth mentioning here that the Awami National Party (ANP) was the first party to left the anti-government alliance, followed by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) that also announced to resign from all posts of the opposition alliance in protest against the issuance of show-cause notices.

Awami National Party (ANP) Parts Ways From PDM

PML-N and JUI-F were irked after the Awami National Party (ANP) had announced its separation from the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

The JUI-F and PML-N leaders reacted to the separation of ANP from PDM terming it “the most humiliating move in political history”.

JUI-F’s secretary-general Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri over the move said, “ANP and PPP’s actions have led to the world laughing at us.”

“Despite all this, we went and spoke to ANP’s leadership and they said the move was made based on friendly ties,” he added.

Haideri warned ANP it had made a “blatant” mistake after blaming PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for lacking leadership.

“ANP should not have blamed Fazlur Rehman,” Haideri said.

ANP separates from PDM

Opposition parties Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Jamiat-e-Ulema-Islam (JUI-F) are irked after the Awami National Party (ANP) announced its separation from the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

The JUI-F and PML-N leaders reacted to the separation of ANP from PDM terming it “the most humiliating move in political history”.

JUI-F’s secretary-general Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri over the move said, “ANP and PPP’s actions have led to the world laughing at us.”

“Despite all this, we went and spoke to ANP’s leadership and they said the move was made based on friendly ties,” he added.

Haideri warned ANP it had made a “blatant” mistake after blaming PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for lacking leadership.

“ANP should not have blamed Fazlur Rehman,” Haideri said.

On the other hand, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said ANP had made several sacrifices for the cause of democracy.

“If Gilani would have come back to PDM after his loss as Senate chairman …. then Nawaz Sharif would not have turned down his request to become the Opposition leader,” she said.

Awami National Party Parts Ways From PDM

ANP Central Senior Vice President Ameer Haider Khan Hoti said that an emergency meeting of the party was held today and the party’s central office bearers and key leaders attended and the agenda was a show-cause notice which has been served to the ANP.

The ANP leader said that he would like to remind the entire nation why the PDM was formed, the All Parties Conference held on September 20 where the Joint Declaration was issued. There was an agenda on which the PDM was founded and the ANP still adheres to this charter and will continue its politics on the basis of the same principles.

He said that after this a successful movement took place which put pressure on the selectors, on which he will give credit to all the parties in the PDM and the people of Pakistan.

“In our view, the agenda of the PDM is the same as it was in September, there is no room for a personal agenda and no one can use the Awami National Party for a personal agenda,” he said.

He said that ANP was and will remain in the field against the elected government.

“After long consultations, we have come to the conclusion that an attempt is being made to take the PDM in another direction,” Hoti said.

“We cannot support anyone’s personal agenda and we are stepping down as PDM,” he said.
