“I will not resign”, PM made it clear

Prime Minister Imran Khan categorically said that he will not resign on opposition’s demand.

While giving a response to opposition’s Azadi March, he stated that it seemed as if the Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam-Fazal (JUI-F) chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, is sponsored by foreign elements.

Earlier, the federal government has decided on Wednesday to give conditional permission to the opposition parties willing to organize ‘Azadi March’ in Islamabad on October 27.

The permission will be given in view of the verdicts given by the Supreme Court (SC) and Islamabad High Court (IHC).

It is decided to allow the opposition parties for holding protest march which must comply with the orders given in the previous verdicts of the courts.

The committee members said that they will approach opposition leaders for holding dialogues before the organization of October 27 demonstration.

Defense Minister Pervez Khattak, who is leading the committee, expressed hopes that the opposition will accept the offers for negotiations.

PM Khan has directed the dialogue committee to remain engaged in talks with the opposition leadership, sources said, adding that the verdicts of courts are present regarding the protests in the federal capital.

On October 3, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman had announced that the “Azadi March” will begin on October 27 after staging protest demonstration to express solidarity with the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir.
