In a series of tweets, Dawar said he would not attend the PDM’s public meetings. He said that he took the decision after having a detailed discussion with his friends and colleagues. 

I would like to announce that I will no longer be participating in PDM’s jalsas and meetings. I have come to this decision after detailed consultations with my colleagues, friends and supporters. 1/6

He said, “Certain parties in PDM have either explicitly or implicitly, expressed their unease with my presence in the forum. The unnecessary friction caused as such, takes away from the important work that we do in our own respective rights.”

Dawar thanked PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari for inviting him to PDM Multan public meeting. He also thanked Akhtar Mengal and Malick Baloch for inviting him to PDM Quetta Jalsa. “Our struggle for marginalised communities will continue, our struggle is a joint struggle of all those who continue to suffer grave injustices at the hands of those in power,” he added.

I would especially like to thank the PPP and @BBhuttoZardari for inviting me to the upcoming jalsa in Multan, to the APC that resulted in the formation of PDM, for the welcome in Karachi and for their continued support. 4/6
