Peshawar: While addressing a public meeting at the Bacha Khan Chowk, leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) made up of an 11-party alliance, said that the wrong policies of the Imran Khan-led government had taken the country to the brink of economic catastrophe.
Dawn quoted the PDM as saying that the struggle they had waged would continue until the overthrow of the rulers who had been “imposed on the country after stealing the people’s mandate in the 2018 elections.”
Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam President Maulana Abdul Wasey, Senator Usman Kakar of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Agha Hassan of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal, Khair Jan Baloch of the National Party, Rasheed Khan Nasar of the Awami National Party, Wali Mohammad of the PPP and Abdul Wahab Atal of the PML-N were among the leaders who spoke on the occasion, Dawn further said.
The opposition alliance also organised protest meetings and demonstrations in Khuzdar, Gwadar and Hub, where local leaders talked to the public.
They blamed the Imran Khan-led government and its leadership for claiming that their wrong policies had resulted in the country being bankrupt.
Those who promised to provide 10 million jobs to the people were snatching away existing jobs, making them think of committing suicide, adding that amid the government’s arrests and other excesses” they would continue their struggle until their logical conclusion, the leaders said.
Since October 16, the PDM has held five similar rallies in Peshawar, Gujranwala, Karachi, Quetta and Multan.
