"We had a detailed debate on the prevailing situation in the country. Next meeting of the PDM heads will be held in Islamabad on Dec 6. Before this meeting, all the component parties will submit their recommendations [regarding launching of the anti-government protest movement] after holding in-house consultations within their respective decision-making and powerful bodies," Fazlur Rehman had said.

Last month, PDM had accused Imran Khan-led government of "damaging" the country's Islamic identity and vowed to continue fighting "till the government drowns in the sea".

During an anti-government rally in Peshawar, the PDM chief had said Prime Minister Khan will not get a chance to escape when the PDM reaches Islamabad, Geo News reported.

"We will keep fighting till the government drowns in the sea," the PDM chief said, adding that the current setup had "damaged the country's Islamic identity". (ANI)
