The final and only workable option left with the 11-party opposition alliance – the Pakistan Democratic Movement – to advance their objective of overthrowing the incumbent government is to resign from the assemblies en masse, a senior PML-N leader said, ruling out the possibility of a much talked about PTI-style long march. However, the PDM has not yet made an official statement on the option of holding a long march.

The senior leader, requesting anonymity, told The Express Tribune that after the resignations, the assemblies would become defunct and lose their legitimacy locally as well as globally, which will create a crisis-like situation in the country, forcing the government to resign.

He said that the JUI-F and the PML-N had already agreed on the option of resignations; however, earlier, the PPP was skeptical about it but was forced to give it a serious consideration due to the G-B election results. He said that the matter of resignations was under discussion between PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.
