PDM members suffer lack of trust in each other, says FM Qureshi
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that nothing will happen on January 31.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister (FM) Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday has claimed that the members of opposition parties’ alliance Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) don‘t trust each other.
While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the minister said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership has already clarified its stance over long march and resignations. PPP is not ready to sacrifice Sindh government, he added.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that PDM had decided that their parliamentarians will send their resignations to JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman by December 31 last year, but PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari opposed it, arguing that the resignations should rather be sent to the heads of the parties.
He further said that nothing will happen on January 31. Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan will not resign from the office as he has public vote and confidence of the House, he added.
The minister said that the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is ready for dialogue with the opposition at the forum of the Parliament on national issues, but not on the ongoing accountability inquiries.
We are political people and believe in political process and dialogue, he stated.
To a question, the foreign minister said Pakistan‘s position on the Kashmir and Palestine issues is very clear and that the stance of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on these issues is a guiding principle for us.
