The decision comes days after the PPP, during its Central Executive Committee meeting earlier this week, decided in favor of fighting the ruling PTI on all fronts, including the National Assembly, provincial assemblies, and Senate.
The JUI-F chief, flanked by PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz and other PDM leaders, reiterated that Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government had until January 31 to resign or the opposition parties will announce the final date of their long-march on Islamabad to oust the incumbent government.
“The government is left with only a month. After January 31, we will announce the final date of the long-march and also decide whether opposition parties would stage protest in Islamabad or Rawalpindi.”
