MULTAN: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Thursday warned against walking away from the option of mass resignations, saying that it will only give the PTI government a chance to come back for a second term.
His remarks came during a press conference in the city.
Fazl had long been calling for lawmakers of the opposition alliance to resign from the assemblies, a position which was opposed by the PPP. The PPP and the ANP have since parted ways with the anti-government movement over disagreements in Senate elections.
