ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on Monday sent show cause notices to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Awami National Party (ANP) with the approval of its President Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
Both the parties have been directed to explain as to why they sought support from government senators in the election of opposition leader in Senate, as this move on their part caused damage to the opposition alliance and the movement.
Show cause notices were issued by PDM General Secretary Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and ANP President Asfandyar Wali Khan. The two have been asked to show cause for seeking help from treasury senators and violating the PDM principles.
