Earlier this week, PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari announced that the party's Central Executive Committee (CEC) has called upon its members to resign from all positions of the PDM.

He said the CEC had come to the conclusion that resignations from the national and provincial assemblies should be "like an atom bomb".

Bilawal said the PPP's stance that the Opposition should not "abandon the Parliament and the Senate battleground" had been vindicated.
