PTI's Ali Muhammad Khan opposes protest call during SCO summit

Senior leader warns PTI may have no choice if the party continues to be cornered

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Muhammad Khan has opposed the party's call for protests during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.

Speaking on Express News' programme 'Center Stage,' Khan expressed his personal stance, stating, "I believe there should be no protests during the SCO summit. However, if we continue to be cornered in such a manner, we will have no other options."

He criticised the government's actions, claiming that the constitutional amendments being proposed were creating divisions.

"These are not constitutional amendments but constitutional fractures. The only threat this government faces is from the Supreme Court, and in an attempt to save itself, it is dismantling the system," he remarked.

He accused the ruling coalition of playing with the judiciary, stating, "If intentions are sincere, solutions can always be found, but their intentions are flawed."

Khan also referenced the political history involving the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), noting that in the past, the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) was formed against the PPP.

He questioned the PPP's current satisfaction with securing numbers in Parliament, asking, "How can there be consensus when constitutional changes are being made by coercing members of the opposition? Will there be consensus after abducting members of the opposing party?"
