Islamabad (Pakistan News): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser met Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Pakistan (TTAP) chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai, expressing concern over the health of the PTI founder, court decisions and the release of detained leaders.
According to a spokesperson for TTAP, the meeting was held at Mahmood Khan Achakzai’s residence, where serious reservations were expressed over reports emerging about the health of the PTI founder.
In a statement issued after the meeting, the participants demanded immediate and full implementation of the Supreme Court’s August 18 ruling. They also called for the PTI founder to be shifted immediately to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad and provided with comprehensive, quality medical facilities.
Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Pakistan also expressed concern over the Federal Constitutional Court’s decision barring the Peshawar High Court from hearing cases. According to the statement, the move to suspend hearings of cases relating to governor’s rule, emergency and the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) was one-sided. The alliance said it would file a formal petition against the decision in the Federal Constitutional Court.
The statement condemned the detention of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s elected chief minister, assembly speaker, lawmakers and party workers, demanding the immediate release of all detained elected representatives and activists.
Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Pakistan also called for the immediate implementation of the Islamabad High Court’s November 10 ruling, urging that lawyers nominated by the court be allowed to meet the PTI founder without delay.
The meeting also expressed concern over reports about the health of the PTI founder’s sisters, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan. The statement demanded the immediate release of Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi. According to the spokesperson, all three sisters have been detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law.
Reaffirming its commitment to the supremacy of the Constitution and the rule of law, Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Pakistan said it would continue raising its voice for the protection of fundamental human and democratic rights.
