Opposition parties agree in principle to form joint front, Fazl says after TTAP meeting
JUI-F chief says that PPP is part of the government
Opposition parties have agreed in principle to form a joint front, said JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman after a meeting with leaders from the Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ayin Pakistan (TTAP). The initial consultative meeting took place at the Chamber of the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Mahmood Khan Achakzai. Further consultations are expected to continue, with the aim of effectively utilizing the parliamentary role.
Fazl emphasized that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is not part of the opposition, as it is part of the government. The meeting also discussed strengthening contacts among opposition parties and finalizing a joint strategy. Concerns were raised about the health of PPP founder chairman Imran Khan, with opposition leaders demanding his immediate transfer to a hospital for proper medical treatment.
The opposition condemned the government's attitude towards the opposition in the National Assembly and Senate, emphasizing that the opposition's voice should not be suppressed in a democracy. The meeting occurred amidst tense relations between the ruling PML-N and the PPP following the recent general elections in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
