TTAP stages protest walk in Islamabad

Leaders of an opposition parties' alliance — the Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aeen Pakistan (TTAP) — on Tuesday held a joint protest walk in Islamabad—from the Parliament House and to the Supreme Court.

Key opposition figures, including Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Asad Qaiser, Aamir Dogar, Azam Swati, Ali Muhammad Khan, and others participated in the rally. A large number of workers also joined the protest march.

At the start of the walk, police attempted to stop the participants from moving forward, citing security concerns. However, the continuous arrival of senior leaders and pressure from the workers enabled the rally to proceed.

Participants carried banners and placards and chanted slogans demanding the withdrawal of the 26th and 27th Constitutional Amendments and calling for the true supremacy of the Constitution.

Upon reaching the Supreme Court, opposition leaders addressed the media in detail.

TTAP chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai said a nationwide black day would be observed on Friday.

He alleged that the 27th Amendment had distorted the spirit of the Constitution and that the move was not only unconstitutional but also un-Islamic.
