The TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad as the first significant step in its political campaign aimed at challenging the current government’s legitimacy. TTAP, the Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan alliance, made up of opposition parties including the PTI, announced its plans during a press conference in Islamabad. Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar and Mahmood Khan Achakzai, leading figures in the alliance, emphasized that the TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad to unite all voices feeling suppressed under the present administration.
Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar stated that the TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad to rally those subjected to injustice. He invited all groups disillusioned by state actions to join the all-party conference. The alliance, Khokhar said, will include “everyone troubled by state repression,” underlining its broad-based and inclusive nature. Mahmood Khan Achakzai clarified that the movement is not political theatrics but a genuine push to re-establish a fair democratic system and a neutral election commission. He reiterated that the TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad as a principled move toward restoring the public’s right to representation.
Achakzai criticized the ruling coalition, accusing it of using force to suppress opposition and limit access to incarcerated leaders, calling such tactics undemocratic. Religious scholar Allama Nasir Abbas further condemned the political environment, arguing that if democracy truly existed, decisions over reserved seats would not be made unilaterally. He lamented the silence of other political parties and declared that while the alliance does not endorse violence, it refuses to remain passive. He confirmed a protest is scheduled for August 5 and warned the state against suppressing it. The TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad not only to set the stage for this protest but to mobilize democratic resistance.
Khokhar also addressed the country’s deepening economic crisis, pointing out the collapse in purchasing power and the struggle of salaried workers. “Inflation has made basic commodities unaffordable,” he said, citing the sugar scandal as an example of state failure and corruption. He condemned the government’s inaction as the poor are forced to pay Rs200 per kilogram of sugar. The TTAP-led opposition decides to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad partly in response to these economic grievances, aiming to represent the common citizen’s concerns.
Khokhar voiced strong disapproval of state repression and censorship, claiming that those asking legitimate questions are being punished. He expressed solidarity with journalists, emphasizing the movement’s dedication to press freedom and social justice. “We will raise our voices through peaceful protest on every platform,” he said. With the TTAP-led opposition deciding to hold APC on July 31 in Islamabad, the movement is positioning itself as a peaceful yet firm opposition force committed to democratic reform and public accountability.
