Meeting details and attendees

The meeting took place in Islamabad involving CM Afridi, NA Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai, and Senate Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas. Hussain Ahmed Yousafzai served as the spokesperson for the Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayin-i-Pakistan alliance during these consultations. This gathering marked the second such interaction between the three leaders within a single week.

Protest strategy and goals

Participants discussed detailed political strategies to organize an effective struggle for constitutional supremacy and democratic rights. The opposition aims to mobilize people by launching a central convoy from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that other regions will join. Their primary objective remains the release of Imran Khan while upholding public mandates.

Government warnings issued

The government has renewed its warning that any attempt to create unrest in the capital faces legal action. Authorities stated that actions violating citizens fundamental rights would constitute a breach of the Constitution. The opposition leaders agreed to proceed with their mobilization as an organized political effort.
