Failed jalsa exposed opposition: PM Imran Khan ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday refused to back down against the opposition despite its threat to march on Islamabad in February. A source privy to the government spokespersons’ meeting called by the prime minister disclosed that the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s Lahore public meeting came under discussion, media reports say. Imran termed the PDM’s Lahore Jalsa a flop. The meeting slammed Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai’s statements against the Punjabis, saying he had insulted them. "If the opposition wants to resign, they can. I will not give in to their blackmail. After holding jalsas, they can also try their hand at the long march," he was quoted as saying. Turning his guns towards PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, the prime minister said she lacked the leadership skills. "Maryam Nawaz is spewing venom against the state institutions," he said.
