The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has decided not to extend invitation to the PPP for its next meeting to be held in last week of May, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday. 

Pakistan People’s Party would also not be asked to join the PDM’s anti-government movement starting from first week of June.

According to highly informed sources in the PPP, the rumours about rejoining PDM by the PPP are baseless, which have nothing to do with reality, the TV channel reported. Moreover, no consultation has been held with anyone in this regard and no discussion is underway on this issue.

The sources claimed the meeting of some PPP leaders with JUI-F chief and PDM President Maulana Fazlur Rehman was only limited to social gathering and to inquire about his health.

Shehbaz-Fazl meeting 

PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Shehbaz Sharif will meet before the PDM summit due in last week of May, the sources claimed.

Both will discuss about the return of the ANP and PPP back to the anti-government PDM alliance and political situation in the country.
