Islamabad: The opposition alliance has announced the end of its sit-in at the Parliament House.
Opposition Leader in the Senate, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, told the media that the sit-in at Parliament is being called off. He said that the members of the assembly had protested over the health of the founder, and the matter was also taken to court. He added that their main demand was to ensure the founder could meet his personal doctors.
He stated that Parliament had been turned into a prison, and when they tried to leave, the routes were blocked. During the protest, many restrictions were imposed on the opposition.
Meanwhile, during the hearing of six cases, the court ordered that the founder Imran Khan be presented in court either in person or via video link.
Raja Nasir Abbas further said that when news about the founder’s eyes came, Mahmood Khan Achakzai announced a hunger strike. He explained that the protest was aimed at ensuring access for the founder’s personal doctors.
He also demanded that the founder’s sisters be allowed to meet him and expressed hope for improvement in his eye health, calling for him to be transferred to Shifa International Hospital.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has announced the formation of a “Founder Release Force” to secure the release of Imran Khan.
Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court, Sohail Afridi said that he has been assigned by the PTI founder to lead the street movement. He alleged that court orders are being ignored and that the PTI founder is not being given access to his personal doctors. He described the current situation as a threat to democracy, the supremacy of the constitution, and free media.
Announcing the creation of the “Founder Release Force,” he stated that it will be officially registered and will carry out a completely peaceful struggle. The force will include members from PTI, ISF, and the Women Wing, covering all sections of society.
Afridi said that immediately after Eid, members of the force will take an oath in Peshawar. He added that the force will have a formal chain of command, and the leadership will be assigned by the PTI founder. Preparations will be completed first, followed by the start of the movement.
Responding to questions about internal party matters, Sohail Afridi warned those who wish to remove him from office, saying that honor and disgrace are in Allah’s hands. He also suggested that inquiries about who sent messages regarding his removal should be directed to the PTI founder’s sisters.
