Fazlur Rehman ‘agrees’ to stage sit-in at D-Chowk

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F has 'decided' to organise a sit-in at Islamabad's D-Chowk.

Last week, the PDM chairman announced a sit-in outside the Supreme Court (SC) to protest the judiciary's 'favors' to former Prime Minister and PTI chief Imran Khan.

The head of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said that the PDM will continue to sit outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan until the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Umar Ata Bandial, resigns.

According to the sources, the PDM and the government have settled their differences, and the PDM workers will not protest outside the Supreme Court.

Previously, the Islamabad administration denied the PDM permission to hold protests in the Red Zone.

Meanwhile, coalition government parties such as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), and Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) are holding rallies in preparation for the protest.

It should be remembered that Federal Ministers Ishaq Dar and Rana Sanaullah met with Maulana Fazlur Rehman today and urged him not to organise a protest outside the Supreme Court (SC).
