Flaws in PDM strategy January 25, 2021 Serious flaws in the strategy of 10-party opposition alliance Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) led to a situation where the alliance looked a “divided house” and too weak to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan through vote of no-confidence unless the latest proposal of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has some “backup support” which perhaps does not exist. They are also not prepared for any “agitation” which even otherwise could only lead to extra-constitutional means. Whether someone likes it or not, history is with the prime minister for two reasons. The vote of no-confidence against any PM never succeeded. It failed in 1989 even the IJI, then opposition alliance, had the support of establishment. The recent move in 2020 against the Chairman Senate was defeated despite opposition’s majority in the Senate.
