Opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP) has announced it will "fully participate" in the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) protest scheduled for October 4. The PTI had initially planned a nationwide protest, including a march to Islamabad, on September 27 to demand the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The protest was postponed to October 4 last week. TTAP, which includes PTI, was not fully supportive of the date change but agreed to comply with the decision once it was made. A TTAP spokesperson stated that the PTI is part of the opposition alliance and that the call for the September 27 protest was unanimously declared as a joint call during a TTAP meeting.
The spokesperson also mentioned that a strategy was finalized regarding protests in Sindh and Balochistan, and detailed consultations were held with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and PTI leadership before the decision was announced. The protest's timing is deemed crucial for Pakistan's democratic future, the supremacy of the Constitution, and the protection of political rights, according to the TTAP spokesperson.
