ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Shaikh Rashid Ahmad Tuesday said the PDM’s limited public gathering of around 3,000 in front of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had exposed the opposition parties’ actual following.
Addressing a press conference here, he dared the opposition parties to announce their much-awaited long march that was their last option against the government. “Their long march will also meet the fate of today’s show of power,” he said.
He said not a single container was placed anywhere to hinder the PDM rally, while the police too did not stop even a single protester despite high alert.

ISLAMABAD: The government said on Sunday that the appearance of the PML-N and PPP before the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) today (Monday) and protest tomorrow (Tuesday) is a crude attempt to threaten the electoral body.
Minister for Information Senator Shibli Faraz said those who tried to trap the PTI in the foreign funding case were themselves trapped and now the PML-N and PPP had to explain where they’d got the funds from.
Speaking at a news conference here with Parliamentary Secretary Farrukh Habib ahead of the PDM’s planned protest in front of the Election Commission Secretariat, he said instead of sharing the funding details with the ECP scrutiny committee, the two opposition parties wanted to tell it to the institutions. He said the topic discussed at television shows nowadays was that ‘once there was a PDM’.
