LAHORE:
Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Ain-e-Pakistan (TTAP) leadership, led by its leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai, is set to arrive in Lahore today in a bid to keep alive the momentum that PTI believes was generated during KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi’s recent visit to the city.
According to PTI sources, Leader of Opposition Moeen Qureshi will meet the TTAP chief in Islamabad on Thursday morning from where they will leave for Lahore in the form of a convoy via GT Road.
According to TTAP spokesperson Akhunzada Hussain, Achakzai, Allama Raja Nasir, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar and Asad Qaiser will be part of the delegation.
However, PTI sources claimed that Asad Qaiser would not join the delegation as he is scheduled to hold a press conference at KP House along with lawyer Gohar Ali Khan and Salman Akram Raja on Thursday at around 10 pm.
Meanwhile, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar has a prior family commitment due to which he is expected to join the delegation on Friday. The TTAP spokesperson said the delegation would be received at five different locations between Gujar Khan and Data Darbar.
He said their arrival in Lahore was expected at 19:00 and that Zaman Park would serve as a base for their political activities. He added that Moeen Qureshi arranged for a possible engagement at the Punjab Assembly; however, this plan was not yet finalized.
A PTI source said the party had already approached Imran Khan’s sister to seek permission for an engagement at Zaman Park, though the program is yet to be finalised.
He said all other engagements remain unconfirmed and arrangements were terminated immediately. According to him, the first reception will be held at Gujar Khan, followed by lunch at Jhelum.
Another significant event is being planned in Gujrat, with penultimate reception at Shahdrah while the last reception would be at Data Darbar. He added that activities at the Punjab Assembly, Minar-e-Pakistan and other places were also under consideration.
Akhunzada Hussain confirmed on later check that Asad Qaiser and Mustafa Nawaz would not accompany for the aforementioned reasons but said that both including Asad Qaiser will join later. He also clarified that Zaman Park will remain the base of their activities and that the permission for this purpose was given a month ago. He said Zaman Park is a symbol of resistance and PTI has no objection to it.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Brigadier (retd) Mushtaq said a full fury of police action was unleashed against party leaders and workers in Jehlum on Wednesday, including arrests, house searches, door knocking and harassment.
He said in District Jhelum, the house of the district general secretary of the party was searched and the district president was arrested.
