KARACHI:
Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Ain Pakistan (TTAP) has called for the establishment of a neutral Election Commission and free and fair elections, calling for those who undermined the public mandate to be held accountable under Article 6 of the Constitution.
The opposition alliance made its demands during an All-Parties Conference held at the Karachi Press Club. The TTAP statement emphasized that the Sindh government had failed to provide basic amenities to the public and criticized the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments for restricting media freedom.

The opposition also condemned the forced transfers of judges and demanded the release of political prisoners, including former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi. The statement criticized restrictions on meetings with Imran Khan and called for an end to such restrictions.
The conference condemned false cases filed against leaders of the Great Democratic Alliance (GDA) and highlighted attacks on journalists’ rights. The opposition alliance demanded repeal of the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) and condemned false FIRs filed against journalist Matiullah Jan, as well as fabricated cases against prominent lawyer Iman Mazari and her husband.
The alliance further linked economic stability to political stability and warned that multinational companies were on the brink of closure. It called for an end to enforced disappearances of political figures and urged the authorities to implement decisions of jirgas held in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The TTAP also demanded a halt to the ongoing military operation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, reiterating that under the constitution, natural resources belong to the provinces and that water distribution must follow the 1991 Water Agreement.
On foreign policy, the alliance expressed concern over Iran’s increasing isolation and urged the government to convene a meeting with neighboring countries, while calling for a joint parliamentary session on the Gaza crisis.
The opposition coalition announced that “Black Day” would be observed on February 8 with a nationwide shutdown and wheel stoppage.
