The opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) is holding an emergency meeting to review the country’s political situation in the wake of the 27th Constitutional Amendment’s passage.
President Asif Ali Zardari gave his assent to the contentious 27th Constitutional Amendment on Thursday, enacting it into law. The TTAP had already announced a nationwide protest movement against the amendment since Sunday and urged the people to take a stand against the “extremely dark and dangerous” change in the Constitution.
In a post on X today, also posted by PTI MNA Asad Qaiser, the TTAP said it was holding an emergency meeting at the residence of Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) Chairman Senator Allama Raja Nasir Abbas.
In attendance were Qaiser, PTI Chairman Barrister Ali Gohar and Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, Balochistan National Party-Mengal chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal, Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) Chairman Mahmood Khan Achakzai and others, including Zain Ali Shah, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, Ali Asghar Khan, Hussain Akhwandzada, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Shaukat Basra.
“The current political situation of the country is being reviewed. Detailed discussions are being held on the 27th Constitutional Amendment.”
“Opposition leaders are consulting on key decisions. Legal experts’ opinions on the possible impacts of the amendment are under discussion. Important consultations are underway regarding the future strategy,” the TTAP said.
