As the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) all set to hold a power show next week, the party’s senior leader Asad Qaiser said Thursday that incarcerated party founder Imran Khan gave the nod for forming a “grand opposition alliance” by expanding the existing platform — Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Ayin-e-Pakistan (TTAP).
“PTI decides to expand the opposition alliance in meeting with Imran Khan,” said former National Assembly while addressing the media alongside the party’s Secretary-General Omar Ayub Khan and others oustide Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail today.
He announced that the former ruling party would gather all opposition parties to run a powerful anti-government movement.
Qaiser said that the party’s forthcoming power show in Swabi was aimed at raising a “strong voice” for the release of PTI founder and other detained leaders.
“This country will only be governed in accordance with the law and the Constitution,” he emphasised.
During his address, Qaiser also censured the incumbent government over skyrocketing power bills, saying the bloated electricity bills were “unacceptable” for the inflation-hit masses.
The PTI leader also said that they support Jamaat-e-Islami’s (JI) sit-in — underway on Rawalpindi’s Murree Road since July 26 — against the massive hike in power bills.
