Opposition political leaders convened at the residence of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), in Islamabad on Wednesday to bolster their alliance and improve parliamentary coordination. The meeting, attended by representatives from both JUI-F and Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP), discussed pressing matters such as the emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as plans for a multi-party conference (MPC).
Delegates Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, representing the National Assembly and Senate respectively, were present alongside MNA Asad Qaiser, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, PTI Chief Whip Amir Dogar, and Senator Noorul Haq Qadri. This gathering was termed a "united opposition" meeting by TTAP, emphasizing the unity and solidarity among various opposition parties.
The meeting aimed to address the nation's current political situation, emphasizing the supremacy of the Constitution and law, and the protection of democratic rights. The opposition leaders vowed to strengthen their presence in Parliament and work towards addressing the grievances of people across various regions of the country.
Fazl Rehman expressed concern over the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, alleging attempts to control Gwadar, the coastal belt, and Sindh's islands. He also highlighted the issue of former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) being merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Both Fazl Rehman and Achakzai condemned the character assassination against JUI-F chief and the ongoing political turmoil.
PTI Secretary General Salman Akram raised concerns about Imran Khan's health, particularly his uncontrolled blood pressure and other medical issues. The PTI demanded that Imran be transferred to Shifa International Hospital to receive independent medical treatment under the supervision of his personal physicians. The opposition and PTI have been engaged in a blame game over the issue, with accusations of lack of transparency and inadequate medical facilities being levied on both sides.
