Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, Dr. Shahbaz Gill accompanied him during Islamabad media talk.
Fawad said Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has miserably failed to gather masses’ support for their anti-Pakistan agenda.
He noted failure of Sunday’s Lahore meeting of PDM as the culmination of this movement.
Moreover, he said it would lead to political stability in the country.
The federal minister said the major reason behind the failure of PDM meeting in Lahore was Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) and Nawaz Sharif’s narrative against the army.
He advised those PDM people in the parliament need to behave sensibly and rethink about their future strategy.
Fawad reminded them the government was not going anywhere with PDM’ rallies because Imran khan will not go anywhere.
Furthermore, he said that PDM has no standing anywhere but still we want the door of negotiations to remain open.
