Opposition alliance led by Achakzai opts out of PTI protest in Islamabad

geo.tv

The opposition alliance led by Mahmood Khan Achakzai has decided not to join the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest in Islamabad. The alliance prefers a consensus approach for future protests, differing from PTI's immediate plans. Authorities have restricted access to Islamabad, deploying extra security and disrupting internet services in several cities. This follows a court order prohibiting PTI from protesting during a state visit by the Belarusian president. Despite these restrictions, PTI plans to proceed with its protest, aiming for the release of its leader, Imran Khan. The party's strategy contrasts with the TTAP's call for a united opposition movement and a more organized approach to protests.
