ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi rejected Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) deadline terming it as their “personal agenda over the national agenda”.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad two days after the opposition alliance held its sixth power show in Lahore, Qureshi said “We reject your ultimatum. You say the prime minister should resign by Jan 31. We are categorically saying the Prime Minister of Pakistan will not step down.”
“You say assemblies should be dissolved. The prime minister has said and I am repeating [his words], assemblies will not be dissolved. The deadline stands rejected,” he said.
