The opposition alliance Tehreek Tahaffuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan (TTAP) along with PTI has announced nationwide protests on Friday against former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s imprisonment, rising inflation, and other political and economic issues.
The announcement was made by senior PTI leaders during a press conference held outside the Parliament House after a parliamentary party meeting.
The briefing was addressed by former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser and PTI parliamentary leader Shahid Khattak, who outlined the party’s concerns over the current political situation.
Asad Qaiser stated that the entire party was deeply concerned about the health of PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, demanding better medical facilities and legal justice.
He said the parliamentary party had fully endorsed decisions taken at the TTAP leadership summit, including the call for nationwide demonstrations.
According to the announcement, protests will be held across Pakistan against inflation, petroleum price hikes, alleged political victimisation, and the demand for release of political prisoners.
Qaiser also criticized government policies, claiming that rising inflation and worsening economic conditions were severely affecting the public.
He warned that the opposition would not allow parliament to function if what he called unjust treatment of opposition parties continued.
PTI leaders further alleged that the upcoming budget would be an “anti-poor” plan, imposing additional financial burden on already struggling citizens.
Meanwhile, Shahid Khattak said the government should apologize to the public and claimed accountability would be ensured for alleged electoral manipulation.
He urged citizens across the country to participate in Friday’s protests, calling it a public movement against inflation and governance issues.
“We will go to the court of the people on Friday,” said PTI leader Shahid Khattak while inviting nationwide participation.
Conclusion
The PTI and TTAP announcement marks a significant escalation in political tensions, with nationwide protests expected to draw attention to economic and governance challenges in the country.
