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

On Sunday, the Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP) established a six-member committee to consult with political parties and establish a consensus on the agenda for a multi-party conference (MPC). The opposition coalition had previously announced their intention to organize the moot earlier this month.

The TTAP committee, highlighted in a social media post, comprises: Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate; Barrister Gohar Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI); Asad Qaiser, TTAP’s Secretary General; Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, Vice Chairman; Akhunzada Hussain Ahmed Yousafzai, the spokesperson; and Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, a PTI core committee member.

The committee's responsibilities include liaising with other political parties concerning the proposed moot, engaging them on its agenda, and striving for a collective agreement on future steps. The TTAP leadership will oversee the committee's ongoing consultation and coordination efforts.

On September 11, the opposition had announced their plan to call for an MPC to discuss multiple issues, including the establishment of new provinces, law enforcement, and the economy. At a meeting of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (JUI-F) with PTI Chairman Gohar Khan, he detailed plans for the conference, asserting that the "current law and order situation, the economy, inflation, lawlessness, and the creation of new provinces issue" necessitated such measures.
