• Maryam says Fazl to have final word on PDM’s future
• Haideri calls PPP decision ‘blessing in disguise’
KARACHI: As member parties of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) continued to level serious allegations against each other amid the show-cause notice controversy, the Pakistan Peoples Party’s central executive committee after two-day deliberations on Monday decided to quit the alliance and demanded an ‘unconditional apology’ from office-bearers of the alliance for their ‘obnoxious conduct’.
While announcing the decision at a press conference at Bilawal House, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said: “We believe in politics with mutual respect and trust. The same ideology we follow within the alliance politics. The PPP CEC demands unconditional apology to ANP [Awami National Party] and PPP for this obnoxious conduct. The PPP stands by ANP in this regard and we will not abandon them under any circumstances.”
