Islamabad:
An alliance of opposition parties has announced host of a “magnificent conference” to alleviate the problem of terrorism that has bred its ugly head with an increasing frequency in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in recent months.
On Friday, leaders of Tehreek Tahaffuz-E-Ain-E-Pakistan approached a press conference in Islamabad, which called for developing national consensus on the issue of terrorism.
When he spoke to the occasion, the leader of alliance, Mahmood Khan Achakzai, said that the government formed on the basis of a rigged election was unable to tackle the crisis. “As head of the opposition alliance, I urge the people at the helm to resign. There is a need to hold a conference of all stakeholders,” he said.
He said that the “rich elections” in February 2024 and the government on its basis were responsible for the current situation. “The only means of the crisis is an APC [all parties conference]”
Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, the nominal chief of PTI, condemned on March 11, hijacked by Jaffar Express of terrorists, adding that security forces averted another ApS attack as a tragedy by taking quick action to save the hostages.
He complained that PTI was criticized by its alleged attitude towards the attack just on the basis of some shady social media posts.
Sic Chief Hamid Raza said there was anarchy in the country over 24 hours after the attack. He asked who was responsible for that anarchy. “Was it the Minister of Defense [Khawaja Asif] Or another? “He asked.
He said that the dialogue was the only way out and that the opposition had therefore decided to host a “magnificent conference”. He said the opposition wants to secure the country’s territorial integrity and wants to see that progress. “This is also the desire for [PTI founder] Imran Khan, ”he added.
PTI leader Asad Qaiser said the Jaffar Express incident was a security course. “If you had the moral courage you would accept this fact,” he added.
