TTAP forms committee to consult with political parties, reach consensus on all-parties moot

On Sunday, the Tehreek-i-Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) established a six-member committee to engage with political parties and establish a consensus on the agenda for a proposed multi-party conference. Earlier in the month, the opposition had announced its intention to organize the moot. In a social media post, the opposition alliance confirmed the formation of the committee consisting of: Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafri, leader of the Senate Opposition; Barrister Gohar Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI); Asad Qaiser, TTAP Secretary General; Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, TTAP Vice Chairman; Akhwanzada Hussain Ahmed Yousafzai, the party's spokesperson; and Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, a PTI Core Committee member.

The committee's primary responsibility will be to liaise with other political parties concerning the moot, gather input on its agenda, and strive to reach a mutual agreement on the course of action. The committee will continue its consultation and coordination efforts under the guidance of the TTAP leadership. On September 11, the opposition announced its plans to hold consultations to convene an all-parties conference to discuss multiple issues, including the establishment of new provinces, law and order, and the economy.

Barrister Gohar Khan, commenting on the matter after a meeting with Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), outlined the necessity of such measures due to concerns such as the prevailing law and order situation, economic challenges, inflation, widespread lawlessness, and the issue of creating new provinces.
