ISLAMABAD: The emergence of two opposition alliances, one comprising eight parties and the other two, has made the break-up of the Pakistan Democratic Movement PDM) a foregone conclusion.
Seven months after its formation, the PDM is on the verge of disintegrating. Ironically, it is differences with the policies of the host of the All Parties’ Conference in which the alliance was set up that has become the major reason for its ultimate division.
