As the opposition parties (APC) conference began in Islamabad on Thursday, higher political leaders requested the restoration of democracy, constitutional supremacy and the end of what they described as a designed policy and judicial victimization. With a firm call to restore democracy and defend the will of the people, the president of the PTI, the lawyer Gohar Ali Khan, declared that no political solution can succeed unless the voice and vote of the citizens are respected.
"Some are trying to end democracy, but democracy will continue. We will bring constitutional supremacy, we will release the Judiciary and repeal the 26th amendment," The president of PTI said, when the opposition APC began under the tehreek tahafuz ayin-e-pakistan (TTAP) banner, the anti-government alliance of opposition parties. The TTAP APC brought together the leaders of the main opposition groups, including PTI, PKMAP, former senators, legal experts and voices of civil society. Initially planned in a hotel in Islamabad, the place was transferred to the Tarlai farm of former Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar after the hotel abruptly canceled the reservation. Speaking at the conference, opposition leaders expressed a deep concern for what they described as a collapse of the constitutional order, political victimization and erosion of civil authority. The conference also unanimously condemned with fresh prison sentences transmitted to PTI leaders, calling them politically motivated. TTAP leaders demanded the formation of a neutral electoral commission, the restoration of judicial independence and the end of what they called "screenwriter" Political system supposedly imposed by forces not chosen. The head of PKMAP and TTAP, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, denounced repeated violations of the Constitution by powerful rooms, remembering that a former dictator had dismissed the founding document of the country as a mere document. "The states do not run with bullets or canes. They are governed through social contracts; And our constitution is that contract," said. Achakzai appealed to all the judges, generals, lawyers, academics and citizens who believe in constitutional supremacy to guide the movement, saying that the alliance was not looking to fight against anyone, but will not commit to the central democratic principles. He had previously emphasized that TTAP did not train at the request of any institution, and added that the alliance will continue its fight until there is a neutral electoral commission, parliamentary sovereignty and a constitutional government. Former Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar condemned the new wave of convictions transmitted to PTI leaders. "Today he will be remembered as a black day in the history of Pakistan," He said, noting that opposition leaders in the National Assembly of the Assembly, Senate and Punjab were sentenced in a single day along with numerous MNA, MPA and PTI workers. As the news appeared during the conference of an anti -terrorism court in Faisalabad that sentenced multiple PTI legislators to 10 years in prison, TTAP spokesman, Akhunzada Hussain Ahmad, announced that the APC had unanimously approved a resolution of the vertices. The resolution specifically appointed to the opposition leader of the National Assembly, Omar Ayub, the opposition leader of the Senate, Shibli Faraz, president of the Ittehad Council, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, as victims of what he called politically motivated and unfair punishments. The veteran politician Javed Hashmi said that despite the efforts to put aside PTI when denying him an electoral symbol, the public still looked for the founder of PTI Imran Khan to vote for him. "Now they want to keep it in jail; It is a farce," said. Hashmi added that the true national unit would only come from the winning hearts, not shoot bullets and pointed out the potential for non -exploiting income from Gwadar as proof that the country had enough resources to prosper if it was governed with justice. The former Baluchistan senator, Lashkari Raisani, asked for a "Truth and Justice Commission" investigate those responsible for weakening the Constitution. "Let this session decide if we will talk to the establishment or all political parties will decide the future inside or outside the fictional parliament," He asked, urging a collective decision about whether Pakistan will advance as a true parliamentary democracy or will continue to be a state focused on power. The president of Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM), Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, echoed those concerns, stating that the Constitution had been effectively suspended and that the pillars of the State allegedly collapsed. "People no longer trust this system. Only the rule of law and the rebirth of the Constitution can rescue Pakistan from this crisis," said. The former JI senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan said that the Electoral Commission had become a tool of the establishment, and that the current Parliament was nothing more than a script show. "Those who won are in jail. Those who lost have filled the seats in the name of democracy," said. The conference continues on Friday with more sessions that are expected to describe a political road map for democratic restoration and electoral reforms, since TTAP is positioned as a growing force against what calls unconstitutional interference in political affairs.
