TTAP irked by PPP leader's 'U-turn'
Bukhari says he has not changed his position on governor's rule
The Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Aain Pakistan (TTAP) has expressed concerns to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders regarding General Secretary Nayyar Hussain Bukhari's sudden shift in stance on the potential imposition of governor's rule or emergency in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. A TTAP spokesperson alleged that Bukhari had made an abrupt U-turn on the matter, but Bukhari denied this, stating that the issue had never been discussed between the two sides during their meeting.
TTAP claimed Bukhari had been compelled to change his position due to external pressure, as he had previously called for all political parties to come together to break the cycle of political instability and uphold democratic principles, deeming the imposition of governor's rule unconstitutional. Bukhari maintained his original position, emphasizing that the matter had not been discussed between him and the TTAP and PTI delegation.
He acknowledged Bukhari's earlier statement that the PPP would consider the proposal if formally presented by the government, with the final decision resting with the president. Bukhari also clarified that the delegation led by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar met Bukhari to extend an invitation to the PPP for the All Parties Conference (APC), and the party chairman would decide on attending the APC after consulting CEC members.
