Today, Pakistan Democratic Movement to finalize sit-in location at Supreme Court
The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has announced that it will be deciding on the venue for a sit-in at the Supreme Court today, May 15th, 2023. The decision is expected to be made during a meeting that will be held by the PDM's leadership.
The sit-in is being organized by the PDM as a protest against what they believe is a lack of independence in the judiciary. The PDM is an alliance of opposition parties in Pakistan, and they have been critical of the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
According to reports, the PDM is considering several potential venues for the sit-in, including outside the Supreme Court building in Islamabad. The PDM's leadership has indicated that the sit-in will be peaceful and that they are committed to exercising their democratic right to protest.
The decision on the venue for the sit-in is expected to be a key moment in the PDM's campaign against the government. The PDM has been holding rallies and protests across Pakistan for several months, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan and for fresh elections to be held.
The sit-in at the Supreme Court is expected to draw a large crowd, and the PDM has urged its supporters to turn out in large numbers. The PDM's leaders have also called on the government to respect their right to peaceful protest and to avoid any violent confrontation.
The sit-in is part of a wider political crisis in Pakistan, which has been marked by protests, allegations of electoral fraud, and a deteriorating economy. The PDM and the government are locked in a bitter political battle, and the outcome of the sit-in could have significant implications for the future of Pakistan's democracy
