PESHAWAR: The Awami National Party (ANP) on Tuesday announced its departure from the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a decision that cast a pall on the PDM experiment which followed weeks of bickering among the opposition alliance’s leadership.
The move came in response to PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s issuance of a show-cause notice to the ANP and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for soliciting votes from the Balochistan Awami Party a government ally to get Yousuf Raza Gilani elected as the Senate’s opposition leader.
PPP was given a week to explain shoe-horning Gilani in the slot without first obtaining the consent of parties of the opposition alliance. ANP, on the other hand, was issued a notice for backing the PPP.
