Islamabad [Pakistan], November 13 (ANI): Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), the country's opposition alliance on Saturday asked Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government to seek an apology from the people of the country for its "anti-people" policies.
The remarks were made by PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman while addressing an anti-government rally at Karachi's Regal Chowk, Express Tribune reported.
"Politicians are the hope of the nation. If we do not play our role today, the nation will not forgive us," Rehman said adding that the state intuitions should review their "mistakes" and seek apology from the nation.

Rehman, who is also the Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party also slammed the Imran Khan government for its "incompetency" and vowed to make all the efforts to remove the Pakistan Tareek-e-Insaf from power.
"If we do not push the 'illegitimate' rulers in the Arabian Sea anytime soon, then the survival of the country will be in danger," Rehman said during the rally.
