ISLAMABAD:
The opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) held its major power show outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday to press for its demand for an early outcome of the foreign funding case filed against the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in 2014.
Addressing the rally, the PDM leaders, including Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Maryam Nawaz, Mehmood Achakzai, Aftab Sherpao, Owais Noorani, Raja Pervez Ashraf and others delivered hard-hitting speeches in which they particularly made Prime Minister Imran Khan a target of their trenchant criticism.
The leaders from the 11-party opposition alliance launched personal attacks on the prime minister accusing him of being “an agent of the Jews” who received funds from Israel and India. They repeatedly mocked the prime ministers with monikers like “Obedient Khan and U-Turn Khan” in their speeches.
