A senior PML-N leader said the announcement was made after an over three-hour long virtual meeting was held in Islamabad on Thursday, which was presided over by PML-N supremo and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, reports The Express Tribune.

"On the instructions Sharif, it has been decided that the PML-N will start a fresh round of protest rallies after Eidul Fitr," the leader said, adding that the same would be communicated to the 11-party opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) in its next meeting.

He said the party hopes and expects that all PDM constituent parties would join the PML-N in its movement.

However, he said it has been decided that the party, with or without the PDM parties, would continue with its plan.
