JUI-F chief, opposition leaders agree to form ‘united opposition’

On Thursday, a statement from the opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan revealed that leaders Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas reached an agreement to form a "united opposition." The meeting took place in the opposition chambers of Parliament House in Islamabad, where the trio discussed the country's political situation, parliamentary affairs, cooperation among opposition parties, and future political strategy.

They expressed concern over the government's treatment of the opposition in the National Assembly and Senate, emphasizing that in a democracy, the opposition's voice should be heard, not suppressed. The opposition leaders also tackled the policies of the government, their role in parliament, and future strategy for defending the Constitution and democracy.

They further agreed to improve contacts among opposition parties and adopt a joint strategy at the parliamentary level. The meeting also included discussions on the health of PTI founder Imran Khan, who was urged by the opposition to be transferred to a hospital at the earliest and provided with the best medical treatment. The meeting was attended by several opposition party members, including MNA Uthman Badini, Senator Kamran Murad, Senator Maulana Abdul Wasay, Maulana Kamaluddin, PTI parliamentary leader Shahid Khattak, and others.

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari from the PPP had also met with opposition leaders earlier that day to discuss parliamentary affairs and the political situation.
