The banned Action Committee has postponed its planned long march, with sources rejecting the group’s claim that the decision was linked to negotiations or a possible agreement, describing such assertions as baseless and contrary to the facts.
According to sources, the committee’s call for the march failed to receive the expected public response, leaving the banned organisation unable to secure the level of public backing, activist participation, organisational capacity and resources required to stage a major protest.
Sources said that any large-scale protest movement depends on public support, effective planning and extensive coordination. However, the committee failed to demonstrate sufficient organisational activity in these areas, while the public rejected it over what sources described as its disruptive conduct and anti-state agenda.
The government’s firm resolve to maintain law and order and take strict action against violent or disruptive activities also made it clear that no unlawful activity would be tolerated.
Sources further said that instead of acknowledging its weak public support, some elements were attempting to promote an alternative narrative by portraying the postponement of the march as the outcome of negotiations or a possible deal.
They added that such claims are not based on facts and are being spread through a handful of ineffective social media accounts and individuals who have neither a public mandate nor any formal authority to negotiate.
According to the sources, the postponement of the long march should be viewed as the result of the group’s failure to gain public support rather than the outcome of any concession or pressure.
