QUETTA:

A public meeting organized by the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) in Pishin saw a large turnout, where Mahmood Khan Achakzai addressed a massive crowd.

Achakzai strongly criticized the February 8 elections, alleging that while Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed victory, the results were manipulated through the use of force and state machinery. He accused the ruling authorities of betraying the people's mandate and described those supporting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as oppressors.

Emphasizing his party's stance, Achakzai declared that PkMAP stands with the oppressed and is dedicated to protecting constitutional rights. He affirmed that Pakistan belongs to all ethnic groups—Punjabis, Sindhis, Saraikis, Baloch, and Pashtuns—and rejected any form of subjugation.

He condemned the interference of institutions in politics, calling it harmful to democracy, and demanded that military officials, bureaucrats, and politicians uphold the constitution. Achakzai stressed that Pakistan's survival hinges on parliamentary supremacy.

The event was attended by key political figures, including PTI's central secretary general Salman Akram Raja and Pashtun National Jirga convener Nawab Ayaz Khan Jogezai.
