ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) would not insist for resignations of the lawmakers belonging to the opposition parties in upcoming meeting of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), sources told The News here on Sunday.
Sources in the PML-N confirmed to this correspondent that it has come to the conclusion that tendering resignations from the assemblies without the support of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) would not serve any purpose and instead cause irreparable political loss to the movement of the opposition parties.
Sources, who are privy to the meetings of PDM, stated that “Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said time and again in the meetings of PDM that long march without tendering resignations would be a futile exercise, which means PDM would rethink about it and it may be delayed for unknown period.”

Donald Wooley, 8 years old, arrested by local police Friday night, is a confessed member of the gang of juvenile outlaws who have kept the police blotter black with complaints for the past several days. Don was found sleeping in a barn back of his fatherâs home and now is musing over his acts at the detention home on Cottage Street while the police are seeking Lyle McClain, 10, and Roy McClain, about 12 years old, the other adventurers. Don will face a larceny charge in court Monday and probably will be sent to an institution as the parents of the three boys say they can do nothing with them.
