Minister for Railways Azam Swati as of today stated that now there is no space for JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in the Pakistan Democratic Movement association of the opposition.
While talking during a media session along with only just reappointed Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani, Swati mentioned that in the competition for the deputy chairmanship, the PDM had “rejected” Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s contender, Abdul Ghafoor Haider.
Swati’s comments were directed to the setback of Haideri, who is a associate of the Fazlur Rehman-led JUI-F party, and who got 44 votes against government-backed Mirza Mohammad Afridi’s 54.
“PDM rejected [Fazlur Rehman’s] candidate. Their is no room for him [in the alliance] now,” the minister staed.
“He should wisen up and think again if he wants to continue [siding with them],” Swati mentioned additionally.
Swati further stated that the way “cracks are emerging in PDM means that the parties have always served their own interests”.
“Their narrative has been defeated and they must repent now and allow us to complete Imran Khan’s reform agenda for the next two and a half years — and then we will again emerge victorious in 2023,” he added
