The opposition alliance’s chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said that PPP “stabbed the PDM in the back”. The PDM chief said that women would also come to the anti-government protests, and they would be treated with the utmost respect — in reference to the recent harassment incidents with women in Lahore. The PDM chief said the Opposition alliance rejects the proposed Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA). The PDM chief said the government had “taken away the jobs of thousands” of people, as it aims to bring reforms to make state institutions profitable. The PDM, a multi-party opposition alliance, was formed on September 20, 2020 with a view to oust the PTI-led government.
